To compare,

I'm always interested in sources for heatsinks but I went to the aavid web site and did a heatsink search using the parts nos. show in your post and the search returned no matches.

Hi,

Try searching on the 763753 first part of the part number.

Also, FBJ, are you still interested in fets?

Let me know ASAP.

Dale

Sorry, the first 5 numbers

I have a 2ft piece of the 76375 (not anodized) left over from a sample order but the piece I have doesn't have the little L at each end of the outside fins. When I had the heatsink cut at a machine shop most of the fins came out bent and I think laser cutting (expensive) would be the best way to go (so I'm picky).

Yes harvardian, I'm still interested in MATCHED IRF MOSFETS for the Aleph 2 or BrianGT PCBs clones. I wanted to be put on a list cause I wouldn't have the money till next month.

I will reserve a set for you. No need to rush payment.

My experience with Aavid is that they are twice the price of most of the competition.... On top of that, they only want to deal with you if you are interested in a truckload...

They must need the $$ to maintain their fancy website...

Ironically, they buy their extrusion from Alcoa...just as most of the other suppliers do...
