Can a Toriod * transformer be Glued to a heat sink??? * The *Toroid

The toroid will be wound *with a 30 degree gap *between the start of

Comments???

Are you trying to heat sink the transformer? That's a mistake. The
glue will be an insulator, not a conductor!

If you're just physically mounting it, a good stiff bolt running
through the center, with some rubber isolation, is how I always see it
done.
==================
A toroid carrying a RF signal should never get hot ......if it does there is
a serious design problem.
