Default RE: Electric Retracts - Modifying existing Air/Servo-operated Retracts

BTW, I used the 33887 in a project about 5 years ago. It gets hot. There is a reason for that big heat sink on the bottom. RDs is 120mohm, so there is quite a bit of resistance and if you don't use a larger value than recommended for the CCP, it gets really hot. What I did not like about this part (and eventually had to abandon it) is that it is 5.0v only. You can't run it on a 3.3v micro setup directly.
