    Hey debe (or anyone who knows),

    The batch of 2SD1071s I received are measuring with a β of around 20 on my automagic component tester. The data sheet gives one spec for β, and it’s a +minimum+ of 500.

    Is this tester artifact? Perhaps something caused by the internal diodes, one of which is a Zener, tripping up the tester? The error is a factor of 25…
