1) Err...I meant "Newark, Allied, etc"
2) Mounting the Power One directly to wood is, as we say in the engineering
field, "a bad idea."
Rather, use 1/4 to 3/8 inch standoffs. Allow air to flow about the aluminum
channel.
If you are too cheap to get standoffs (you know, like the ones under the pcb
in the MOTM
when attaching to the bracket) then use a couple of nuts back-to-back.
Unless your idea of over-current notification is the smell of roasting wood.
