i am sure many folks have been burned by fakes , i have been lucky enough to not run into this yet . so i should not comment but i though ti would share this info as it may ultimately find helpful to someone at some point - pinouts .
for me , what i need to remember myself is to never , ever the pinout . if i have an issue in a circuit that uses these types of transistors , well for me , 99 scratch that , it always is the fact that i have the pin out worng . if mat attempt to try to figure out the manufacturer and then get that specific data sheet as that info may be helpful . i have been down this road enough times to finally come up with a solution that works for me .
i used a set of three sockets , attaching different colored wires to each leg , then tin those tips , so i do not have to bend the legs until i am sure which legs need to be bent where . insert the jfet into the socket and then swap the wires into the circuits socket .
i use that instead of googling for pinouts , often but i do think it would be nice to have these shipped with that info or have the parts labeled .
it is typically info that has been omitted that consumes my trouble shooting time . i prefer to have all of the blanks filled in . i do not wish to learn , i wish to build . unless i am breadboarding but typically , this is the case, and i do not sell , nor will i be doing this .
thats me , i realize most folks dont have time for that , and are in a huge hurry , since i stopped with the massive amounts of smoking , but i can read quickly and have a fairly healthy attention span .
