Al, double check this but I think that "insulator" is just a heat transfer
pad. If the bare metal back on the IC is connected to the IC's ground pin it
does not need to be insulated. Some of the heat transfer white goop should
do the trick.

I have to replace one of these and when it came off so did the insulator.
The new one didn't come with an insulator. Is there a # for the insulator or
can I get one anywhere? I don't have one big enough. Or can I do without and
cut the ground pin off the heat sink?
