Especially be careful about anode/cathode matching in an SOT-23. That particular package is notorious for having a whole bunch of minor mechanical and pinout (if a pinout difference can ever be considered minor) changes across vendors. -Dan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
