Okay guys, this is insane. See the drawing below explaining orthographic drawings. Marcoo is incorrect. The page 68 drawing is a bottom view and is correct. If Marcoo was correct, the device pin 1 would be at the opposite end compared to EVERY to-92 device on the planet earth. A to-92 device, looking at the flat side with the pins down, should have pin 1 at the left end. AS PAGE 68 SHOWS. If the drawing view on page 68 was a top view, it would be at the top of the drawing, and would not show the pins, or show them as hidden. The view on page 4 should be labeled top view, OR the table below it should have pins 1 & 3 reversed.
My question now is did Marcoo go in the lab and find that the anode is connected to WHAT SHOULD BE labeled pin 3?
