Speaking from a technician's view, it's not a good idea. But if it is working for others you might aswell try it.
Hey guys, I have a quick question. So if you've been reading my threads lately you know I'm building an aluminum bodied robot that uses 24v to drive the wheels. So to convert that to 5v for my microcontroller, I'd need some kind of transistor. And this transistor is going to get HOT!! So my question is, could I simply touch the back end of the transistor to the body of the robot to act as a giant heatsink?And by touch, I mean securely attach it with some kind of heat conducting glue.
