Hello all
I’m re-assembling a re-capped P700. There are two diodes, PT# HV0000212 SV-3A at H005/H006 locations on the 700 PCB. On one side has a small bump on it and the other side is flat. When I originally removed these from the heatsink I never removed the thermal paste from them, now that I am putting it back together I realize the greased side is the side with the bump on it. When I clamp them to the heat sink there is not much surface area on the heat sink, they don’t sit flat.. My first inclination is to flip them over but that’s the way they were originally mounted. Another post commented that these are very brittle and are not available anymore so I don’t want to handle them too much. Any suggestions??
