Well, mine are still good for something :-) They help getting patients out of a not so cool cardiac situation. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

Nope, it's a 44-PLCC :-) -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam. Use another domain or send PM.

I was looking for 2N4117's and 9's recently (ultra low C and leakage JFETs) for protecting sensitive inputs in a diode-connected configuration. Distributor said Vishay had discontinued them, I contacted Vishay who said they discontinued them a couple of years ago when they changed the line to a different process but there had been massive stocks in hand so it wasn't obvious at first. I don't think Vishay are pulling out of JFETs completely. Fairchild make MMBF4117/9 and there's also an SP4117/9 from some other company. But both are on many week leadtime. So I wonder if these old but good parts may be incompatible with modern fab processes, which would be a pain. Can anyone recommend a more available low leakage JFET along these lines? I'm wondering if everyone's moved onto a more modern part and I just hadn't heard 8) -- Nemo |
