pose it may be useful to insert a washer or use
of the type shown in fig. 8 where the pressure
on the tab is distributed on a much larger sur-
face. Sometimes when the hole in the heatsink
is formed with a punch, around the hole or hol-
low there may be a ring which is lower than the
heatsink surface.
This is dangerous because it may lead to distor-
tion of the tab as mentioned before.
