Alright, I recently got a bunch of parts in the mail, and I thought I got some normal 4017's, just the cheapest ones I could find. 11MHz, 6-20V, all normal, right?
Well, when they showed up, they were in a solid silver bag, which I haven't opened yet, but on it it says they have an out of bag life of one year and may require baking before mounting and etcetera.
Can I still use these like normal, or should I order new ones?
And what exactly are they?
