One important point is that the output pin and the metal mounting tab are internally connected together. This means that unless you use an insulator between the tab and heat sink the heat sink will have the output voltage on it. There are kits that contain a flanged washer and a thin piece of mica to insulate the devise from chassis ground.

I have some junk ss stuff around to scavenge bits from. Old computer p/s are a good source for plastic covered wire, lv ecaps, bridge rectifiers, single diodes, heat sinks, and mounting parts for to-220 semiconductors. Most of the time with the semiconductors you'll find on the p/s board you can google the p/# to find the specs. I've found a number of 800v 3A bridge rectifiers which are handy for building hv p/s. You wouldn't think that a 24v p/s would have such hv parts.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got it!
