BOSOZ assembly question

[moe29]

i'm stuffing my BOSOZ boards, and wanted to make sure that
when attaching the mosfets to their heat sinks a mica insulator
should NOT be used? we want to keep the TO-220 case and the
heat sink electically live not isolated. right?

thanks in advance

I would just put the insulator on as the back side metal of the
mosfet is a conductor to the drain.

Hi Moe,

I did isolate the heatsink and the TO-220 case. I've tried to make a drawing of it. I aslo cut off the middle pin of the mosfet because it has no use on the PCB and can only function as an antenna.
Hopefully its clear enough.

Suxes with your project
