PACKAGE DIMENSIONS
NOTES:
1. Dimensions are in inches.
2. Millimeters are given for general information only.
3. These dimensions should be measured at points .050 to .055 inch (1.27 to 1.40 mm) below seating plane. When gauge is not
used, measurement will be made at seating plane.
4. Both terminals.
5. At both ends.
6. Two holes.
7. The collector shall be electrically connected to the case.
8. LD applies between L1 and LL. Lead diameter shall not exceed twice LD within L1.
9. In accordance with ASME Y14.5M, diameters are equivalent to φ symbology.
10. Lead 1 is the emitter, lead 2 is the base, collector is the case.
