Thermal pad for heatspread odrive s1

1

Hi,

I just received the heatspread for an odrive s1 and there is a thermal pad.
I’m wondering which is the best position relative to the PCB to put the thermal pad.

TIA

Hi! The thermal pad should cover the FETs, please see here S1 M8325S Kit Build Guide — ODrive Documentation 0.6.10 documentation

Thank you; very clear; I wonder how it is that I didn’t find that in the documentation despite all my reading and searching it :frowning:

No worries :slight_smile: we definitely have some work to do on the docs!

No, no, the documentation is quite good; it’s me which were not so good in searching it.
