4.4. Mounting the Gold Trombone
The Gold Trombone is designed for mounting on a printed circuit board (PCB). It is connected
by 1.27 mm pitch 0.41 mm square pins and 2.54 mm pitch 0.64 mm square pins. When
integrating the Gold Trombone into a PCB, be sure to leave about 1 cm (0.4") outward from the
heatsink to enable free convection of the air around the Gold Trombone. We recommend that
the Gold Trombone be soldered directly to the board. Alternatively, though this is not
recommended, the Gold Trombone can be attached to socket connectors mounted on the PCB.
However, if the PCB is enclosed in a metal chassis, we recommend that the Gold Trombone be
screw-mounted to it as well to help with heat dissipation. The Gold Trombone has
screw-mount holes on each corner of the heatsink for this purpose.
