Where am I able to get some silpad?

I need to get some and I can't find it ANYWHERE! Well, I haven't checked ebay yet but I'm going to right now. If anyone knows where I can get some please tell me!

I had the same problem.

Go to DigiKey and search sil pad 400.

If that doesn't work email me. I might be able to send you some. Thanks to Steve of Apex Jr.

I ordered some from Digikey, but not sheets (they don't have them, or, do they??). I got the biggest one they had but if I double 2 up on an lm3886 so that the hole doesn't allow metal to metal, it would fit perfectly.

Thanks!


(BTW this was for an LM3886 amp. I will now begin to use the isolated version )


EDIT: I got Q-pads Same thing right?

You definately don't want to overlap the silpads if that's what you are considering.

Why not?
What would happen?

AudioFreak,

Tell me this. Do you still use the thermal grease? The strips I have are not sticky at all.

Thanks,

Bergquist's Sil-Pads come in several different qualities, not all adhesive-coated. The T03P size (25.4 x 19.1) fits the 3886 (20 x 17.5).
