Are you using a heat sink, and does the case have vents/louvers to allow air circulation (even without a fan, convection can provide sufficient cooling) ?
Heat sinks are not a "magic solution", but even a small heatsink can substantially lower the case temperature vs no heatsink at all. Just be careful that nothing (such as a wire, even if it's insulated) touches the heatsink when the case is closed. I always assume my heatsinks are electrically connected to the drain/collector of the device, which is usually high-voltage. If a wire rests against a heatsink, the insulation will eventually deform/melt causing a short. Even vibration can cause the edge of a heatsink to 'saw' thru the insulation of a wire. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
