Pinout needed: Telefunken 603 tranisistor

Jun 04, 2006 7 Replies

From the 50's perhaps. A long black Ge with a dot near one leg. From an old reel to reel tape recorder. The dot is the collector, center leg is base and other is the emitter? Thank you for your time.


I'm sorry, I do not speak German. I need the correct "pinout" for this obsolete Telefunken transistor from the 50's. A long black Germanium type with a dot near one leg. From an old reel to reel tape recorder. The dot is the collector, center leg is base and other is the emitter? Thank you for your time.

Right.

Yes curious, the 1973 UK Semicon data book mentions the data as I transcribed along with manufacturer being Telefunken, also mentions a variant OD603/50. But a German 1987 ECO (Electronic+Acoustic GmbH) book mentions the one you refer to along with variant OD603, but no mention of Telefunken, completely different characteristics.
