i have to mount diodes on one generator rotor, and i remember some years ago to use some king of paste to mount them... to help to get a good contact areas between diode and plate..does somebody knows some manuefacturers of this paste





RE: some paste for mounting diodes
I think you are referring to Heatsink compound?
Like this:

It basically helps conduction of heat from the diode/transistor/whatever to the heatsink (in this case your generator).

Go to www.digikey.com and search for "thermal grease". Radio Schlock also used to carry it.
I'd apply it sparingly, as it gets soft when it is warm and it will fling off!
There are also a variety of silicone pads available which do a similar job while ALSO electrically insulating the device (which may not be desired!). These are commonly called "Sil Pads", which I believe is a brand name. Search digikey.com for "heat sink pads".
Good luck!

Recently silicone based greases have fallen out of favor as they run/leak for months. So there are some that are not silicone based now too.
