Does anyone run their current sensors at the max allowed current without adding heat sinking? I have the 20A version which quotes 1.2 mOhm as the loop resistance. At 20A that is half a watt of heat coming out of a tiny 8 pin SOIC package. All the current is carried by the four pins on one side. My…
