Rattiest current datasheet?
« on: August 06, 2014, 03:13:34 am »
What's the rattiest (for foreign readers: shabby, old, dirty) data sheet you've seen for a current production part?

Oh, that don't even come close. If you will notice on the left side its a customer drawing. Also it was made in 82 by the looks of it. Well before CAD was commonplace. Many perts don't even have spec sheets.

The Chinese ones that are current (written on a computer) but awful (probably written in Word, by ESL writers) are pretty annoying.

Think one of the oldest datasheets I've seen dates back to release rev in 1968 or something like that.  More and more revs added over the years, but the same basic part (or part series).  Some Molex connectors are like that.  Hand drafted?  Who cares.  As long as the scan is good (the above example, not so much..), the drawings themselves are usually correct and understandable.

Yikes, the oldest databook I have is a 1968 Motorola ECL databook, and it looks cleaner!

I looked at all the data sheets shown, nothing wrong with any of them. Is it because you expected to see a cad drawing? I don't get it.

Thats just a part drawing really. Not a data sheet. Thats just what they looked like before computers were everywhere. I have looked through many upon many file cabinets full of drawings like that and have never found them lacking.
