No heat sink is necessar y if power( P (MAX ) ) is less
than 1. 7W and the board operate s at 25°C. A roug h rule
of thumb is you can draw 100 mA @5V from the board
and not require a heat sink.

Ther e is a small he at sink on the RP C-210. U19 is
screwed to the board to get slightly better heat
dissipation. However, if you are going to operate the
heat sink at high temperatures (> 80°C) for extended
periods of time, it is advisable to add a heat sink.

If you expect to operate the bo ard at high tempe ratures,
use the following formula to determine maximum power
dissipation:

P(MA X) = 125 - T

Use a heat sink for a TO-220 IC. Suggested heat sink

Other heat sink types and styles may be used depending
upon your mounting c onsidera tions. Heat dissipa tion is
greatly increased with air flow around the regulator.

Be sure to use silicone grease to increase heat flow. An
insulator is no rma lly not necessar y unless you w ant to
keep the heat sink from shorting to an external case.

You may need to bend up U19 to attach the heat sink.
