Re: Heat Sink Compound
If you already have any of the opaque "filled" types of thermal grease, just use that. The clear kind doesn't have any filler, but still helps with the thermal conductivity (way better than air) in

Using network analyzers below their stated bandwidth?
Hi, if I have an RF analyzer that has an analog bandwidth of, say, 10 MHz-4GHz, is it possible to add a front-end that will let it characterise a device at audio rates, i.e. 10 Hz-100 kHz? What does

Re: Heat Sink Compound
I already replaced the transformer but its easy to get to so I will get some correct compound and re-install it. The original does not seem to have any filler in it, its clear. Same stuff on the

Re: Heat Sink Compound
Richard, I just finished restoring a Tek 647A using a HV transformer from a 453. The transformers are nearly identical except to pin-out arrangement. Both transformers require heat sinking to the

Re: Heat Sink Compound
There are only 2 reasons I can see you would need HV insulating grease between the surfaces. 1: The surfaces need to be electrically insulated. If there is no insulation between the parts, then

Re: Heat Sink Compound
My understanding is that there were two reasons. First of all, they had to build the engines in sections, and secondly they had different thermal expansion rates. The so called 'O-rings' were very

Re: Heat Sink Compound
Richard, forgive this silly response to your question because I don't know if there is a specific type of heat sink compound used in your application. But... Desitin cream for diaper rash is just

Re: Heat Sink Compound
The stuff I am using is MG Chemicals 8462 grease. Has very good insulation properties but not high heat transfer. The original material was thin, clear, grease of some sort both on the transformer

Re: Heat Sink Compound
The HV transformer is clamped to a heat sink underneath it (actually above it when the scope is upright). Both sides are coated with thin grease. The same stuff was on the transistor when I took it

Re: Heat Sink Compound
Heat dunk compound is zinc powder or sometimes silver. Never silicon grease. Can¡¯t imagine why a transformer would need grease nor , with its mass even need to be ¡°sinked¡± My 2

Re: Heat Sink Compound
Hi Richard. It's amazing how some 'old wives tales' never die. There was recently an excellent link on eHam about heat sink compounds. The author worked as an EE for a large cable Co. So, he dealt

Re: Heat Sink Compound
The clear stuff I have is recommended for HV insulation. It does not have a particularly high heat conductivity, probably due to not having any filler. Whatever was on the HV transformer is clear.

Re: Heat Sink Compound
Arctic MX-4 is non-conductive. It's the metal filled thermal pastes that are risky to use. IIRC MX-4 is ceramic based. On Thursday, May 3, 2018, 3:17:05 PM CDT, JJ <jajustin@...> wrote: I

Re: Heat Sink Compound
I read that silicone is somewhat conductive so you need to be careful with the transistor. I use arctic silver 5 (which is not silicone based) but you should be able to use any silicone based compound

Heat Sink Compound
I am still working on my 453. The HV transformer is mounted with some sort of clear grease. I think this is heat sink compound but may just be silicone insulating grease. What is recommended here?
