Subject: [alt-beam] 3904 & 3906 Question ....


I purchased some 3904 & 3906 Transistors from Digi-key (fairchild) pt#
2N3904-ND / 2N3906-ND

AND WHAT IM WONDERING IS ...

reading the pins from left to right ... with the flat side facing me...
do they go: E,B,C ??

here's the link if needed to the digi-key pdf. catalog page featuring the
parts in question.
http://www.digikey.com/EC/V2/204.pdf

i only question this because i read somewhere else that all transistors are
E,C,B from left to right...and i thought that was odd (well..i read it in a
book from radio shack) .

Any help would be great!...im getting ready to breadboard my parts!..... im
just waiting to get my solar cells in the mail so i can get testing..and
then building!

thanks,,,,Rik
