Hi, why transitors have 3 legs?

Simple. Return to tried and true leaded solders.

Cassini builders should have, since they would have been exempt.

Do they form even if the part is never powered up??

No, droit de jambage.

We are talking about "legs".

It is a crystalline growth. What do you think?

No wonder you guys are destined for disaster. The reasons are obvious with the mentally of the populous you were hatched in.

Sad state of affairs on your side of the pond. Yes indeed..

In French it's "droit de cuissage", (coming from "thigh", not "leg")

Thanks, Fred.

"With the mentally of the populous"??? You really are a laughingstock and you don't even know it.

T'would have made it even more apposite :-)

Sorry, couldn't resist it ;-)

Nobody knows how many legs are on a transitor.

Transistors, however have 3 to 4 legs.

It's sad to see what I have to look for when I get to that senile state and maybe a little dementia issues that you show signs of.

I'll bet it took every microgram of energy your retarded little brain could muster to come up with that absolutely stupid attempt at an insult. It did more to say things about what you already lack than anything about what a dope like you thinks one of your elders lacks, or what you have to look forward to.

You probably cannot understand a forward looking viewpoint if you cannot even spell the word, idiot.

Particularly sad for dimwits like you.

If you are intellectually challenged when young, you are more likely to lose what little you've got as you get older.

I was hatched in Tasmania, both my parents were born in South Australia, an= d their parents were born in South Australia (2), Western Australia and Mac= clesfield, England respectively. Deducing anything useful from that geograp= hical information could be tricky. =20

Or so Jamie thinks - if we can dignify his mental processes by calling them= "thinking".

Some do. I have some in hand that have only two legs:

TEPT5700

Chew on that for a while.
