question about TO-247 IGBT socket/connector

question about TO-247 IGBT socket/connector

question about TO-247 IGBT socket/connector

(OP)
I'm no EE, just a materials guy.  I've got a noob question about connectors.  I'm building a pulse modulation system using an IGBT that is in a TO-247 package.  The IGBT is on a small fan-blown heat sink mounted to the small box that contains the driver.  I need a socket/connector that will plug onto the IGBT leads.  I've searched extensively without success, finding sockets for just about every discrete device package except the TO-247.  Can anyone recommend a mating connector/socket for this package?  Thank you!

lead size (standard .026" x .051")?

IRstuff is correct in that this part is supposed to be soldered to circuit board thru holes.

You could always wrap/solder wires directly to the leads then apply shrink tube for one off.

Thanks, IRstuff & mcgyvr.  It's a one-off, so I'll solder short leads direct to the device.  Much obliged.
