When housing a BJT, the pinout is usually:

  • 1: Base

  • 2: Collector

  • 3: Emitter

  • 4 (Tab): Collector

3. TO-218-1 (1 Lead Variant)

Fairchild Semiconductor has dimensions for a "single-lead" TO-218 package, as shown in Figure 2. Curiously, I have not found any components that use this package.
