4 legged and surface mount high power germaniums?

[hellwood]

has anyone considered using these?

[R.G.]

I hadn't - largely because I'm not aware of any surface mount germaniums. Are you sure those are germanium?

[hellwood]

i got in my hand a 2N1556A motorola in a to-3?

[R.G.]

TO-3 is surface mount???

[hellwood]

OK, maybe im confused. it has holes drilled in it for horizontal mounting and only 2 pins for the base and emitter.

[hellwood]

OK, so not surface mounts but TO-3's. has anyone used them or not?

[ambulancevoice]

i doubt it
ive never seen one person using any kind of to-3 cased transistor before on here, oh my brother
