Hello everyone. Got this simple question about how to connect a TO-204 packaged Transistor. Looking at the datasheet for the BUV22, (NPN, power transistor) http://www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/BUV22-D.PDF, it comes in the TO-204 "package". This is the info from the datasheet: TO−204 (TO−3), CASE 197A−05, ISSUE K.
However, Im confused about how to actually connect the device, since the datasheet doesnt say which lead is which, and It only has 2 leads.
Looking at some other datasheets : http://www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/2N5038-D.PDF, I see that the CASE is actually the third terminal (Attachment) . So my question is, are the leads for the transistor always as specified in the second datasheet? And how do you properly connect the transistor (specially the CASE = Colector terminal), both in a PCB and a breadboard?
I've never worked with these types of packages, so bare with me people
Thanks !
