Re: Do the heatsinks on a A4988 make you nervous?

I look at the heatsinks on a cheap A4988 board and they make me nervous. The sit very close to some of the passive components on the board. Does this bother anyone else? Any risk of them shorting something out?

Consider that the sink has thermal tape on the bottom, so while it is close, it isn't necessarily conductive. And yes, I spent quite a bit of time on this, and still made sure to align them so as not to be over the higher parts on the module.
