Re: Voltage regulator--how to mount?

Radioshack sells two different things that are meant to go with TO-220 package semiconductors (which is what your regulator is).

Here is some mounting hardware and insulation:

Here is a heatsink:

Which route you want to take depends on your space limitations, your mounting medium, and how much heat you expect to be generating.
