Over the past 25 years I have basically done the same as most people and just use a small subset of transistors for my projects which I know the pinouts for. When I do repairs I check the data sheet (usually on-line now but years back in a book) to see which style the transistor is so I get the right pinout etc and to be fair most of my stuff is low voltage digital anyway, so I only use a small number of different types. I obviously realise that there are several pinouts for the TO92 package (which always seemed silly to me but hey) so today whilst watching TV I thought I would organise my box of spares, labels them up and do a list. So I started to put them into a list of TO92, TO92B, TO92F, H etc then thought I had made a mistake as I got the original list from a Fairchild data sheet then found them different on another data sheet!
From flat side towards you and pins down...
Fairchild shows them as
TO92A EBC
TO92B ECB
TO92F CEB
But I've seen different orders with other companies/lists on google etc.
Has anyone got the definitive answer and to stop me re-inventing the wheel a list would be nice. My transistor data book went missing years ago.
