Small-outline transistor


A small outline transistor is a family of small footprint, discrete surface mount transistor commonly used in consumer electronics. The most common SOT are SOT23 variations,. SOT23-5 differs from SOT23 in a wider body of instead of. Also, manufacturers offer the nearly identical thin small outline transistor package, where lower height is important.

SOT23-3, SOT323, SOT416

The SOT23-3 package is very popular and a common package for transistors, as well as diodes and voltage regulators.

SOT89-3

The SOT89-3 electrically only has three leads. The wide lead is physically part of the middle lead on the other side of the package. Some call this package a SOT89-4, since it visually appears to have four leads when looking down at the part.
