Dual gate MOSFET.

Jan 14, 2008 3 Replies

Gone are the days when I used to service TV sets and could easily obtain the occasional BF981 from a scrap tuner.



These days I obtain the occasional modern miniature tuners with very tiny SMD MOSFETs with no markings, The Peak/Atlas component analyser will read it as a MOSFET with the 3rd test lead connected to either gate in turn, but it can't tell which way round the d & s pins are or which gate is which.



Anyone know of a way to determine these finer points?



TIA.

Perhaps you have a short look at the data sheet(s) of NXPs BF99x series. They all share the same package and pinout and are pretty common.

Thanks that might work - do the far-eastern manufacturers follow the same pin layout?

Nope, not always. It's all over the map, for example this one:
