Does Anyone have a source for these clips? Sometimes amplifiers are missing them or they break when removing them. Whatever the case may be. Alot of amplifiers use them. I have been searching high and low, amplifier manufacturers in china asking them to sell me 1000-10000 pieces. i just can not find the correct source for them. Does anyone know of a replacement?

They look the same but the bend varies. Some of the clips won't lock securely into other slots.
I was using these but they're getting harder to find. They work for TO-220 and for larger transistors if you double them. They're not reusable. Use octopart to find them if you can't find anything better.

Many times, I had amplifiers that were not able to be repaired or not worth repairing. In some cases, the owner will give you the amp. If they won't give them to you, $20 will often be enough to buy them. That's one way to get parts like the clips or terminal blocks that you cannot get in any other way.
That generally where I get them. When I was just practicing on amplifiers I destroyed more and had clips. Now the better I become at repairing amplifiers the less damaged or non repairable amplifiers I have.

Most of the ones I had that weren't repairable were due to flood damage or had large areas of the board burned.

Brilliant and they don't bend in the center? Are they thinner than the originals so a shorter screw would be needed?
Any update about the spring clips coming in? I have a JL amp coming in for repair with of course, missing clips.

McMaster has virtually any screws you need.
The thermalloy clamps/clips will work perfectly fine on the old slash amps.
