SMD Transistor PCB

The SMD Transistor PCB is designed to replace hard-to-find through-hole JFETs with SMD versions, facilitating easy substitution. It features clear markings for Drain, Source, and Gate, and supports various transistor types like J201 and 2N5457. The assembly process involves soldering the transistor onto the PCB and connecting it to effect circuits using pin headers or wires.

SMD Transistor PCB


Quality through-hole FETs are becoming hard to find, replacing them with their SMD version is the
best solution. This PCB is designed for placing SMD transistors and easily substituting the through-
hole ones.

The PCB is marked with D (Drain), S (Source) and G (Gate).

The PCB is designed for J201, 2N5457, 2N5458, MPF102... with the pinout as shown in the following
figure. If you want to use other types of transistors, please check the pinout in their datasheet.

ASSEMBLING PCB

Add a small amount of solder on each pad of the PCB.Place the transistor over the pads with the
tweezers. Melt the solder on the PCB pads and the transistor legs.

You can use pin headers (40 PIN 2.54MM RIGHT ANGLE SINGLE ROW PIN HEADER)
(HTTP://WWW.TAYDAELECTRONICS.COM/CONNECTORS-SOCKETS/PIN-HEADERS/40-PIN-2-
54-MM-ANGLE-SINGLE-ROW-PIN-HEADER.HTML) or wires to connect the PCB to your effect
circuit. The pin headers can be assembled on both sides of the PCB, depending on the available room
that you have around the transistor on the effect PCB.

Once the transistor and the pin headers have been mounted, you can place the PCB on the original
through-hole footprint.
