[sdiy] How to Affix Thermistor to LM394

[Oren Leavitt]

No, no, no, fellow blondes - hammer the nail into one side of the LM394 
and then bend it over the tempco.

Back on topic -
Generally, I find putting the tempco on top the transistor pair so that 
it is touching with a good glob of heatsink goop, and keeping the pair 
shielded from air drafts works sufficiently well.

If you're using the LM394H (the metal can type) you could also try 
putting the tempco under the LM394H so that it touches the white ceramic 
substrate base underneath.
