1.Be sure the heat sink mounting surface is clean, dry, and free of grease.

30-40 IN.LBS.

2.Apply a thin, even coat (.1 to .25mm or .004 to .010 in) of thermal joint compound (Penetrax A-13) to the diode module base plate only, under the plastic body of the mod- ule. Do not apply compound to the area under the mounting holes.

3.Press the module firmly against the heat sink, aligning the mounting holes.

4.Place a spring washer then a flat washer over each outer mounting screw and insert them into the holes. Insert the allen head screw into the center hole. Tighten all three screws finger-tight only. ➀
