The metal plate is to attach a heat sink so I just bolted it to my oversized cooler heat sink. Seems to work but won’t work without a heat sink I think. I tried a pot but it cut power down. The cooler plus many amps. Maybe 6 ?

Maybe you can tell me what I should be using.

I wonder If I should look into building a decent one of these as a project, compared to bus power systems with 400V load dumps, the actual difficulties are just the ease of use factors, e.g. could make a 2 PCB design in an extruded case, the bottom for all the power conversion, and the top for silkscreen and cutouts. let me guess usually its like 5-10 outputs, some fixed some variable, and dew heater control outputs,
