[time-nuts] LPRO 101 heat sink question

[Jim Harman]

I recently purchased an LPRO rubidium from the auction site. The mounting
surface is covered with a thin soft, dry light blue material with a sheet
of brownish plastic film underneath. I assume this is the remains of an
adhesive thermal pad.

Should I peel this off and expose the bare metal mounting surface before
attaching the LPRO to an appropriate heat sink? After removing the pad, can
I use ordinary thermal grease between the LPRO and the heat sink?

Thanks for any advice.
