How can I electrically isolate a PCB from a heat sink?

I have a set of LED driving lights for motorcycle that must be wired through a ground-leg pulse width modulation dimmer. The problem is the mounting bracket for the lights is grounded, so the lamp shorts to ground through the motorcycle chassis and the PWM dimmer cant dim the lamps. How do I handle this problem?
  • PCB Assembly, PCB Design
  • Use Kapton tape
  • Use Sil-pad and shoulder washer. If you use a sil-pad the screw will still electrically connect the componet tab with the heat sink, soashoulder washer should be used to isolate the screw and the tab.
