Show your schematic. Are you saying a common drain?trying to make a 6 way mosfet switch, each mosfet working separately and independent.
Can I use just one piece of cooling plate for all of them? that means all mosfet's Drain hook up..
Thanks
Attached schematic?may use the attached schematic 6 side by side, common drain automatic comes out when mounting them on one plate.

Thanks for the edit. You only show ONE 3205 (post #4). What about the other 5 working independent[sic]?LAOADAM said:trying to make a 6 way mosfet switch, each mosfet working separately and independent.

Often, with a group of FETs close together like that, a strip of silicone insulation is used between the FETs and the heatsink, then they are all clamped to the heatsink using a bar that is screwed down at each ens. The bar runs across the plastic body of the FETs.
Ur, special spring loaded clips are used...
Here you can see the strip of grey silicone insulation, and a screwdriver being used to remove a clip.
Google "TO220 Insulation" for many pictures.
Yes. All must be insulated from the heat sink and each other.actually, the point of my question is is it necessary to insulate the mosfet piece by piece?
