MPF102 JFET package
The MPF102 n-channel JFET device has a TO-92 package, it is commonly known as the low power general purpose package.
TO-92 package is a three-terminal device made with epoxy/plastic material, this will make them more heat resistant and compact.
The small-sized and less weighted MPF102 JFET TO-92 package is much more useful for making compact circuits.
