metal can pinouts

metal can pinouts

2004-08-13 by peng3002

I'm ready to put the 4 LF356 into the ASR. Unfortunately I'm not sure
which pin is which. I know where pin 8 is but, looking at the data
sheet, I'm not positive if I'm looking at a bottom view or top view
of the can. Seeing that the 4 cost me $10 I'm a little apprehensive
to guess. Should the pins be in the same places as plastic dip silk
screen shows ? Firgured I should ask someone who knows.

Thanks,
P.

Pin 8 is the tab. The pins then count down in a clockwise direction, like an
ordinary DIP does.

For everyone looking for parts and for part specifications, I have
found a VERY interesting site: http://www.findchips.com

It lets you find availability and sometimes pricing, Also generally
one of the suppliers listed will have a link to the part spec sheets.
Kills a lot of birds with one stone. I noted from the LF356 search
that DigiKey had the TO-8 part (LF356H) for $2.68, and was able to get
the product spec sheet from National Semi using the link to the part
at DigiKey. Even if your not buying, it's a neat tool to get to part
spec sheets.
