Instead, a heat sink and attached fan can provide a more economical and less bulky cooling solution for single unit evaluation. Mini-Circuits provides the ZHL-2425-250X+ as an amplifier pallet “without a heat sink” leaving the end- user to decide what type of cooling they want to use.

Fan Recommendations The Mini-Circuits heat sink has been designed with mounting holes for end-mounting 60mm fans. The bottom of the heat sink is covered leaving one inlet and one outlet for air at either end. Our recommendation is to use a single fan on one end of the heat sink oriented so that the direction of airflow is going into the heatsink.
