Dear Paul,
this collet type heat sink is only made for testing diodes. Sso they will only run for seconds. With 250 mA, the heat sink did not even get warm.
I could, of course, build a perfect heat sink, but this device works well for his task.
But I have another question. I could not find how to send a personal message to a member. Any advice is welcome.
best regards
Edgar
You can click on the envelope icon next to your user name at the top of the page to start a private conversation. If the heat sink doesn't warm up this could be a sign that it doesn't transfer heat well from the diode. For only a couple of seconds at 250 mA, the diode could be just getting a few degrees hotter than ambient. It depends on the diode used.
