TRANSISTORS: Soviet Transistor Pinouts

Russian transistor pinouts 497b122fdebd

 Just a little reference to Soviet-era transistor pinouts.    SOVIET TRANSISTOR PINOUTS note:  in addition to potentially different pinouts, some Soviet-era transistors can have the case connected to the base – which is not good if it touches anything else.  The dot on the case usually marks the emitter, not the collector as often found on European … Read more
