Toby,
It looks like the part number is 342-0082-00, described as an insulator plate, 0.52" x 0.52" x 0.015", material: alumina (aluminum oxide).
It is likely used with thermal compound added,
Unless Walter at Sphere has the alumina, I might have to go with mica --
Digikey has some reasonably compatible rectangular pieces.
Thanks a lot, John. It was lazy of me not to consult the parts list
before posting...

Hi,
In preparation for testing/replacing components on the HV & regulator
board, I removed it, and seem to have accidentally broken one of the
heatsink pads under a bottom transistor (see pic).
What is this material?
/g/TekScopes/photo/249616/0?p=Created,,,20,2,0,0
Should it be used with thermal paste or not?
Thanks
