Yes, I ordered those directly from Samtec. The pins are the most expensive part of this assembly if you can believe that. A bag of 600 pins weighs almost 2lbs. 🙂
I just soldered some of these by hand today to my already populated LD IMS boards.

They aren’t pretty like the paste-and-skillet method, but they will work. 😊 It helps that the bushings don’t melt with an iron on or next to them.

Is there anybody who sells LU1014 Adapters?
I am thinking of those who want to build this:

The Gerbers are freely available and you can order IMS PCBs for $5 plus shipping from JLCPCB.
If you only need a few, post a request in the swap meet. I’m sure someone in EU will have spares.
Neat amp and good way to use low cost LU1014D’s from Aliexpress.
I suppose I could sell these on my shop if there was enough demand.

It’s a special part made by Samtec. It may be available from Mouser the part is easier to obtain direct from Samtec.
Part HPM-03-01-TS-VS

I think the "thermal insulation" layer shown in the layer config diagram linked above is less thermal insulation and more of electrical insulation. This dielectric layer has reasonably low thermal resistance so heat can travel through it to the aluminum base layer.
I have used these PCBs from JLCPCB and they work well in transferring heat from the Lovoltech to the heatsink.
