Heat sinks are components used to provide a thermal pathway to reduce the temperature rise in electrical circuits. This TO-220 heat sink, as the name implies, is used to cool off electrical components housed in a TO-220 package. It has a screw for easy attachments to components. The most common components that use this heat sink in electrical circuits are : Voltage regulators like 7805, 7812, LM317 , power transistors and diodes.
