Talk:Small-outline transistor

Added some tables from abroad
Please check translation to the English language and used meanings. Tables are from Czech wiki. Maybe should be fine to add below some sources of the information from apropriate page https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMT or use your own. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Add image (talk • contribs) 15:00, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

minimum vs. typical dimensions
The article seems to coherently use the specified minimum dimensions instead of the typical values. For example, SOT-23-3 normally has AxB of 2.90x1.30mm² and G=1.90mm, but the article lists 2.8, 1.2 and 1.78 which are minimum sizes (SOT-23-3) --Prolineserver (talk) 06:20, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

"small-outline transistor" or "small outline transistor"?
Both "small-outline transistor" and "small outline transistor" are currently used. What should it be? --Mortense (talk) 20:31, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

History
The idea of replacing ‘thru-hole’ packages with surface-mount devices first came in the 1960s. In April 1966 Piet van de Water started sketching what would become the 23rd Standard Outline Transistor or SOT23 package for Philips. Following pilot line development in Nijmegen during 1968, the first SOT23 plastic encapsulated device would roll off the Hamburg production line in 1969 – and a star was born. https://efficiencywins.nexperia.com/innovation/sot23-50-years-surface-mount-innovation-in-one-package.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.102.171.27 (talk) 07:49, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
