Thanks for the reply! Yes, it is housed in aluminum enclosure that has two screw holes. I will definitely try to find a heatsink and mount it.
I did not know that 8 watt dissipation would heat up, let's say a 20 watt resistor. Is there a set ration between wattage/dissipation in resistor?
Thanks again.
