Hello, My question is this. I have one of the new Uniden 980 ssb radios and loved it till the crappy RD16HHF1 transistor went south. When I was removing the transistor I noticed it was just mounted right on the back of radio with a little heat sink but no insulator like the old transistors are. Is this something new with the Mosfet transistors or what. Can you mount them right up with no insulator ? Thank you for any help on this dilemma...

Depends - on the polarity of the transistor, and if teh case isd at ground potential or at a higher voltage.
