@mat3 there are a lot more. Like recently I saw a resister in this shape (one of the three pins was just not connected to anything internally).

@agowa338 LMAO, thanks for letting me know, haven't seen that one yet xD
Any idea why they created that component?
Show threadKlaus FrankOct 13
@mat3 I assume they fucked up the PCB design and needed a component that fit?

@mat3 I've never actually laughed out loud at an electronics meme, congratulations

@mat3 They're all sparkling temperature sensors

@mat3 dont forget about
- transistor
- other kind of transistor
- other kind of transistor with a different name
- other kind of transistor almost nobody uses
- transistor

@hazel @mat3 with any pinout variation you can think of!

@rick @mat3 off getting called out on fedi for confusing a mosfet (wrong) witj a linear voltage regulator IC (right) both were SOT-223 Package

@stefan @mat3 but its fitting ^^v

would happen to me too

@rick @mat3  I can take such a joke xD

@mat3
I think we need color-coded stripes, like old resistors have.
Or the world's tiniest fucking QR codes.

@mat3 So do I, but I have micromanipulation gear...

@mat3 I defy you to find a legible part number on any of this. Halfway through my project and I guarantee ive installed 24 diodes from 3 state sponsored companies and made electronic equivalent of a grounding rod.

@mat3 well, at least there is a clear and logical, centrally managed and absolutely unambiguous way to name and mark them as well as how to decode those markings

(There is irony in this posting, if you did not notice, you never worked with SOT23 parts p)

@mat3 and I CAN'T SOLDER ANY OF THEM BECAUSE SMD

@mat3 TIL there are EEPROMS in SOT23-3 packages, and to boot they use only two of the three pins.
