So I need a heat sink and fan like the older pc processors for real use? I was going to put it in a project box with a 120vac fan for cooling for testing purposes in the car vs the bench.
To do it right you will want to wrap the wire around the terminals and solder them, then cover with heat shrink tubing. They are rated at 50 amps average and 400 A peak. A sliding electrical contact is to be avoided for critical applications.
