Hey guys, I'm new. I live in the USA, and go to school for electrical engineering at carnegie mellon.
Questions are:
1) How do I identify the collector / emitter on an nkt275. Can't seem to find it online.
2) Why don't I get reasonable leakage values when I try testing them as suggested on the famous "The technology of the fuzz faec" article. I will link. No matter what I do I cant seem to even get more than millivolts running through the 2.8k ohm resistor. PLEASE HELP!
Stick your multimeter on a low ohm range. Emitter to collector and base to emitter should be open.
Newmarket stopped making this component a long time ago. The cheap US modern copies are nowhere near as good, and you'll get a COMPLETELY different performance (and hence sound) from them.
