I've decided to ask since I couldn't find anything I was 100% sure of on the interwebs and this forum.
(Sorry, I feel like this is a dumb question, but I don't want to make a mistake and am only 98% sure myself.)
Please see the attached snipped from a datasheet for a 2N5088 transistor.
The diagram where the pins are labelled it shows a double rectangle for the body of the transistor. This means the curved side is facing the reader in the diagram, correct?
So if the curved side of my transistor is facing me, the leads are (from left to right) E, B, C?
I'm pretty sure the diagram matches the one below it since that would be logical, but I've seen crazier things in my life.
The biggest reason I'm not 100%% sure is simply googling the pinout results in a huge majority showing an opposite pin configuration (but I know they can vary).
I just wish the datasheet had a nice angle drawing so I could be sure.
