Step 3Fine-tune the Shape
In order that it doesn't fall right off, the heatsink should be shaped by adding a few notches or a narrower "throat" at the top of the tab.
This prevents the "tab" from sliding out of the heat shrink tubing, and off the transistor.
Note: to be honest, tapering the "throat" at the top of the tab seems to work better....the drawing illustrates this alternate method (which I used on the prototype.)
