Quick question:

What other mosfet footprints are loosely compatible with a SOT223 footprint?

I have a whole lot of old blank PCBs intended for SOT223 mosfets which are hard to find atm.
I plan to hand solder these and reflowing, so anything close would be fine. It just needs to fit more or less.

(Obviously I also need to check the pinout)

I also found this website, which makes finding alternative footprint names easier.

You might want to bookmark it too.
