Wasn't sure where to ask this so here it is.
I don't understand this heat-sink:
What I mean by that the front half has a small shelf for the 9mm to fit into but it only goes in the lip no more than half way so the rest sticks out and the other half has just a small hole with no lip so when you screw them together there will end up being a gap instead of how a normal press fit is flush. Don't understand why the lip isn't deeper and also the back piece hole is just wide enough that the diode pins are almost touching the wall so you would have to solder the wires to the inside of the pins and still won't be able to get heat shrink tubing over the connections without it rubbing against the wall and likely ripping off the diode pins. ????????
Should I drill the hole a bit wider and lose some heat sinking when the diode is still creating a gap or what? This seems very very strange especially when you are talking about a 3W+ build. If you can't tell the halves screw together.
