Device Orientation and Insertion
Insert the transistor last,
AFTER connecting the
cables and leads. Remove
the shorting wire after
insertion in the socket.
The MOS FET leads must be re-arranged into a straight line as shown.
IMPORTANT:
The MOS FET is highly sensitive to electrostatic damage. Touching the bare leads can definitely
destroy the device. The device comes with a special shorting wire attached. Bend the leads the way
you want, insert the device in the socket, and then remove the shorting wire. The wire has a tab. Just
grab the tab and pull straight out. The wire will spiral out as you pull.
Once the shorting wire is removed, you must use a wrist strap when handling the device.
