The 38 Special manual tells us to use heatsinking compound on the
back of the IRF510 (5 watt mod), and nylon screws/nuts for mounting
to the case of the rig -- but do not ground the case!
The heatsink compound at RS says that it is highly conductive -- not
sure if they are speaking of electrical or heat only. It is a
silicon based product. Is this stuff ok?
(I'm some weeks away from case-mounting, since I fried the first
kit. I'm not giving up -- ordered another one today -- but my offer
to swap a new-in-the-box RS DSP for a completed and tested kit, with
or without case, stands.)
