Hi Tony,

This topic appeared on the list previously from last October "sticky
thermal pads for K3 LPA Mosfets".
One of my LPA Mosfets went bad in my K3s. I saw a comment on the
reflector about these devices failing and I'm guessing the heat sink
design
then there is INDIUM,, which is wired thin metal thermal foil,
some believe the conductivity to be better than the paste

Thermal pads are a compromise between heat conductivity and ease of
use. Thermal paste can be applied in a thinner layer, and if done
uniformly will therefore have less thermal resistance.
You're good.

Tony,
Elecraft has always used the thermal pads.
