Yeah, I kinda noticed that. It's a good idea to use sockets for transistors. On Mon, 2010-01-18 at 13:51 -0700, Jan Kok wrote: Be careful, folks. The pin functions (C-B-E vs E-B-C, etc) are not the same for all TO-92 transistors. The pin numbering is not consistent between manufacturers,

Agreed. While I do use sockets for most ICs, I would never use a socket for a transistor. - Anders Gustafsson Engineer, CNE6, ASE Pedago, The Aaland Islands (N60 E20) www.pedago.fi phone +358 18 12060 mobile +358 40506 7099 fax +358 18 14060 Jan Kok jan.kok...@gmail.com

BC307? There is no BC307 listed. Are you sure? T0-92 is what i used. On Sun, 2010-01-17 at 14:43 +0200, Anders Gustafsson wrote: BC307 - Anders Gustafsson Engineer, CNE6, ASE Pedago, The Aaland Islands (N60 E20) www.pedago.fi phone +358 18 12060 mobile +358 40506 7099 fax +358 18

What transistor will you be using? The datasheet will state the package type and should look something like TOn, TO-n, SOT-n. On 2010-01-16, at 2:26 PM, rocko wrote: Whats a good footprint for a NPN transistor for PCBnew ? I looked thru the docs but couldn't really find one. I suppose I
