I was considering a BD139-or alike, metallic case. Since the sensor woudl be smaller (the aforementioned SOT), I should use something else. Or maybe move to a TC74 (TO220) and use a BDX53 BJT. -- Ciao, Dario -- Cyberdyne -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
