- Greeting all, I'm getting around to my 2 meter kilowatt SSPA. My question is which of the multitude of heatsink compounds do you recommend? I have read some of the comparisons mostly dealing with CPU

- Manfred, I have build several solid state amplifers, including a 1KW HF amp that I am currently using on a daily basis. I use Artic Silver. I found that it is really important to first of all have a

- I remember reading that the use of Heat Sink Compound between the device (LDMOS) and the Cu Heat Sink was NOT recommended. They require an extremely flat surface on the Heat Sink. The temp's at that

- Don, and all, while it's very true that a THIN layer of thermal compound is desirable, it's ESSENTIAL for the layer to be continuous, that is, to avoid having air pockets there. And the techniques to

- One word of caution with Manfred's technique - be very careful if applying clamping pressure onto a transistor with a ceramic cap. The cap is strong round the outside edge, but weak in the centre. If
