No I cant post pictures here

PM me for help on that, if you want to. I don’t seem to have any trouble posing images..

the metal plate was in the Atom Kits I purchased originaly. They are in the first lot of pictures put up by Mumbles, they are used to mount the module if you aren’t screwing them down onto a metal area.

Ok, but isn’t the (red, or whatever) plastic module case still sandwiched between the transistor body and the metal plate / engine? Or do they rely on that little brass ferrule to act as a thermal conduit? If so, that’s still a very weak thermal coupling.
