PNP question

Post by Hacken »

Got a couple of trannies for a buzzaround im building. I never used Ge transistors before, so do the arrow point to the emitter or the collector?

You're talking about on a schematic? PNP trannies show an arrowing pointing in from the emitter toward the base.

I talking about the arrow or dot on the transistor it self.
So it´s from Emitter to base! Gotcha... will solder the transistors tomorrow.

Oh I was talking about the schematic symbol. As for the actual tranny casing, I'm not sure, what's the part number?
