PCB with ECBE?

[peps1]

Im thinking of making the Ampeg Scrambler clone from Tonepad, BUT iv noticed on the PCB the 2N5306 and BC169B are drilled for 4 legs marked ECBE.



But they have 3 legs Collector, Base, Emitter.........don't they?

It's for transistors that have different pinouts on the casing, probably.  So you don't have to twist the legs of the transistor.

Hey Brook--that's basically just really convenient planning to accommodate different transistor pinouts without making you twist the legs of your transistor around to fit they layout

Notice how both 'E' holes are connected by traces.

*edit* Ninja'd.

Really should have seen that!
