oh, everything has been ordered, sorry if I didn't make that clear. I just didn't want to get stuck with too many extras 🙂
Please dont make him loose the good spirit 😉
Maybe another run with raw sheets will be ordered by many of the same people
And it could be shipped together 😀

Would probably be best only to post if theres any complains or need for corrections
Just a suggestion
I could take some of the TO-220, if it helps
If others want them its fine
Maybe best talk about it later

I will take the remaining to-220s, just email me with the total for them.
Otherwise, the numbers you have for me are correct, 50 to-220 46 to-247, regarding what I have paid so far.
On a side note, do these require the use of heatsink compound goop for proper transfer?
Thanks
Chris

Hi luvdunhill,
Any leftovers?
I need at least 4 isolators to complete my F5 amp.
If still available i would sign up for 20 of the to-220 and 30 of to-247.
Any kind soul out there for at least four to- 247 ?

Hey,
Thanks for putting together the group buy. Can we get an update. I saw on your earlier post that you expected the material on 7/24. I just wanted to know if we were still on track, I know it takes a while to organize and ship everything.
Thanks,
Chris

Heh, a bit of drama... so, I called today and asked about the package and the company said it was delivered on 7/24... well, I called expecting that it was delayed, but they said no it shipped and was left on my porch on 7/24.
Er, not good huh.
Then after a few minutes of panicking and what not, they call back and said, no it was *sent* on 7/24 and arrived on Monday. Ok, better, but still I haven't seen it. Called down to my shipping and receiving department (my lovely wife) and she reports it was indeed delivered on Monday, but since it was so small she figured it couldn't have been that important and forgot to tell me 🙂
I guess I just get updates when the 100 lbs of aluminum arrive each week 😀
Anyways, I'll set my eyes on it tonite after work and will update everyone.

okay, everything is packed up just need to address a few more envelopes.
Unfortunately, the quality control on the larger TO-247 pads isn't great. There were several that were ripped or had other flaws. I tried my best to weed these out and just took them out of my own batch. If I missed any, it was not intentional. The TO-220 pads were much better, but there were still some. I'll try and get the distributor to help me out with these, but if not, it will be okay. I'll post pictures later just to document the problem. It also seems we were shorted some TO-247 pads as well :/
Either way, I'd recommend looking carefully at them before installing them. Also, on the TO-220 even though they are separated, I'd recommend still using a hobby knife to pull them apart, as if even a small amount of material is connected it can cause issues. You'll see what I mean when you try and just pull them 🙂
At brief glance, the $3 for the US people will cover the shipping and extra supplies I had to buy to stiffen up the packages.
I haven't had a chance to look at the international packages, but I'll let everyone know tomorrow.
Everything should be in the mail by tomorrow morning!

Hi Marc,
Just got my TO-247 pads in CA. Thank you very much for organizing another great group buy.

Igor

Here's the pic of some of the damaged isolators:
Still need to see what the distributor will do for me... I don't feel like restitution is an unreasonable request, but we'll see.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Received mine. Thanks.
I was real pleased to find out that the 247s were MUCH larger than I expected. They were way big enough for the Thermaltrak transistors. The Kerafol literature I've seen, and the info I received from Kerafol, indicated the 247s were smaller. I wonder if they just cite the size of the transistors, and not the actual pad size. In any event, the long search for pads for Thermaltraks is solved. Thanks again.

ah yes, we discussed this at the beginning of the thread (see the first page or so) and many people were excited about the size of these pads. There are are a number of different "TO-247" pads, you have to select them by size and this maps to another part number, and this specific size was selected to fit the larger devices that people use around here, such as the ThermalTrak devices and the large Toshiba devices.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
