The legs are already shorted internally, so, it doesn't matter which one
is used. Shorting them externally just makes sure one hits.
Verify with ohmmeter.
That two legs are there, as one, serves the assembly robots as a way to
orient it without having to be able to read.

Well here is a picture of how this particular three legged diode
looks and a spec sheet for it that explains how to connect it.

Thanks for the links. I looked at both, and read most of the pdf.
Seems someone changed the definition of a diode. I think this component
is a bit more.
First, Di means two, ..... I thought.
It appears he got the wrong component to start with. Can't see why
anyone wants this device if all he wants is a diode.
I understand that everything changes over time. Yet I have a hard time
accepting the fact that the lowly diode has changed into a 3 legged critter.
I suppose it works like a diode when connected as the drawing.
Nevertheless, I think everyone should learn the old fashioned definitions,
theory and use before progressing to new devices that are in fact misnamed.
