Top side

The top side has an enclosure-integrated heatsink.

AIRLink telemetry module is designed to work standalone (no cooling fan) without overheating at maximum output power with ambient temperatures of up to 50° C.

In case there is a chance of overheating in your application - the module has 4x M3 mounting holes for the cooling fan.
