Hi. The description of Pololu G2 High-Power Motor Driver 18v25 states that “performance can be improved by adding a heat sink”’ but does not provide any other details. It’s not clear where and how to install a heat sink on this board looking at product photos. Can you provide more details about this.

Thanks. I fixed my post. The product name was copied from core-electronics product title that does not mention G2 but in product description it states that this is a G2 model. The original question still remains.
