Frequently Asked Questions
How does it mount?
Through the two holes in the flange, bolted flat to a chassis or a heat sink.
Which pin is the base?
The pin stamped B. The other pin is the emitter: the two pins are stamped B and E, which leaves the collector to the case.
Stamped letters beside the pins do the job a drawing usually does: B for base, E for emitter, right there in the metal. Turn it over, read the stamps, and match them to the holes in the chassis.
