[NLRS] Question on MOSFET orientation

[Donn Baker]

Hi Jon,
You didn't say what package you've got... but I found a package layout on a
Vishay Semiconductor site.

GATE2 is the short straight lead.  SOURCE is opposite GATE2 and has a
"clipped" lead.

Hope this takes care of it for you.  If you have a different package,
sorry, you're on your own.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
