Where to find package size diagram (TO-220, TO-262, etc)

I just use whats on the manufactures' data sheet

I look at the part library in my PCB layout program. D from BC

JEDEC.ORG is the main standards body for semiconductor packaging. You have to register, but the free-site has all the info you need for the packages you mentioned.

I don't trust the part library in my PCB program - I look at the manufacturer's data sheet to be sure.

The TO92 package is my favorite target for venom

Ok...I'll admit I did verify the part library with data sheets when I was learning the PCB program. It's a trustworthy library now and my package database. Heyyy.. I'm in BC too...How's that chilly clear sky weather? :) D from BC

I don't know why Google even bothers to count the hits... They don't display results past 1,000.

Counting hits tells you whether your filters are too broad or too narrow.

the number is there to hint to the user that they may wish to narrow their search. anyway above about 50 they don't count the hits, they estimate them.

I once replaced an overseas transistor with a domestic one, and had to swap two of the leads. I used a little snippet of teflon tubing on one of them and put a half-twist in the pair.

you could have rotated it 180 degrees and passed one leg between the others

Not if the holes are in a single line, which was VERY common with Japanese plastic small signal transistors.

That's what it was. The TV's still working, BTW. :-)
