... TE-Power NODE 4.4 Thermal Path Optimization The standard heatsink of the TE-Power NODE is a compromise between physi- cal size and thermal performance. The heatsink is a stock part, selected for su- perior performance with lower temperature gradients. For high temperature gradients, the heatsink should be verified. ...
