Diode IR 8EWF10S pinout

I wanted to add some diodes, IR's 8EWFxxx series, to my pcb program, but noticed that the pinout in the datasheet does not correspond with the component drawing. In the datasheet (8ewf10s.pdf, downloaded yesterday from IR's website

on page 6 is a circuit diagram of the diode with one cathode and three anodes of which one is labeled cathode. On page 7 there is a package drawing with two anodes and two cathodes. I do not have the diode, so I can't measure it. Anybody out there that can confirm the pinout please? I would like to finish this today if possible.



Thanks a lot in advance,

Ignore pin 2, which is internally a continuation of the tab (and hence a K pin), as you can see it's chopped-off and not available to the PCB.

Thanks, - Win

** Look at the illustration of the D-Pack on page 1 of the pdf.

The middle leg is truncated and not for connection to anything.

It is also so obviously connected to the mounting base or cathode.
