here is the data sheet:

https://www.st.com/stonline/books/pdf/docs/1773.pdf

if you have the version with a metal tab, pin one is the first on the left
if you have the 20 pin IC style, pin 1 is beside the corner with the bevel cut

Sebi, fastest typist in the forum, LOL

Just to be clear then if you are looking at it from the front then the left pin is 1 right they are notched on both sides?

No problem that is not rude I had a serious brain failure I was putting it in and had it pin 1 from left to right but when I noticed the two notches and freaked out but I saw that I was right in the first place thanks for the quick help.
