Identifying Transistor Configuration

[sabu31]

Hi all,

On looking up for BC212 datasheet, i found two datasheets having different configurations. How do we identify if the casing of both the Transistors are same. I am attaching the datasheets.

Hi,

the Motorola transistor should have the Motorola logo on it.

Never heard of "Central semiconductor".

The newer datasheet is in accordance with other manufacturers, e.g. Onsemi.

I used Motorola products 50 years ago. I do not use very old transistors, instead I use fairly new transistors and their newer datasheets.

Hi,

This method requires two multimeters:

Meter Check of a Transistor (BJT)

Hi,

the Motorola datasheet is quite confusing, showing two different pin configrations
