Wrong. The ceramic package isn't hollow; on the contrary, it contacts
more of the junction's surface area than the heat sink flange (which,
BTW, doesn't make "intimate contact" with any part of the junction
because it is insulated from the die by the Be Oxide substrate).


If the ceramic cap is tied so well to the heat source internal to the
transistor... then why don't you just attach the heat sink to the
ceramic caps on your new design?... LOL
