RCI 2995DX voltage regulator upgrade?


2SA1302. 15 Amp, 150 Watt rating. More to the point, it has a larger surface area in contact with the heat sink. That alone means the part's temperature will rise less per Watt of heat than the smaller physical packages can allow. Temperature rise is all about the thermal resistance between the part and heat sink. Bigger contact area means lower thermal resistance in degrees temp rise per Watt.
