AX500 Motor Controller User’s Manual 151

Attaching the Controller Directly to a Chassis

board against a vertical surface as shown in the figure below will ensure a better natural

convection flow and is, therefore, recommended.

For high current applications, it is possible that the controller may heat up faster and to a

higher temperature than can be dissipated by the using natural convection alone.

In these applications, you should ensure that air flow exists to remove the heat from the

heat sink. In the most extreme use, you should consider using an external fan to circulate

air around the controller.

Attaching the Controller Directly to a Chassis

The AX500 can be attached to a metal chassis to improve heat dissipation. For this purpose

the board has holes at the corners of the PCB, which can be used to fasten it to the chas-

sis.

Of course first it is necessary to remove the blue heat sink, which is mounted as standard.

A total of 6 screws for the AX500 are required, four on the corners and two in the heat sink

area.

In order to avoid that components leads sticking out the back of the PCB make contact

with the chassis it is needed to interpose a metal bar (interposer) of thickness sufficient to

distance the PCB from the surface of the chassis.
