Need heat sink for GBU806 bridge rectifier

[TallPaul]

Anybody know where I can find a heat sink for this rectifier? It's installed between 2 components so it has to lay flat against the part. maybe one with fins that curl back? thanks

Hi Paul and welcome to Electronics Point

You need to show us the space it needs to fit into, with dimensions.

Or you could have a look at the big e-tailers, Digi-Key and Mouser:

I'm looking for one that looks exactly like this one that's attached. I went through Digkey and couldn't find it, unless I missed it. The dimensions of the part is 22mm x 19mm

exactly isn't important
as long as its dimensions will fit your use
failing all else, make one ... cut one out of a chunk of aluminium and drill a hole in it

Yeah, I would find or buy a thick bit of aluminium and cut it to shape by hand.

I was afraid of that. I haven't been able to find anything on the web. I think device manufacturers who buy those rectifiers in bulk also have companies to custom fabricate the heat sinks for them. I'll have to get a rectangle piece of metal and snip to size then drill a hole through it
