Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

  Quote  
what semiconductor manufacturer uses the Beta symbol?

The semiconductor manufacturer Infineon Technologies uses a logo that resembles a Beta symbol (β). The symbol appears stylized in the swoosh that arcs above their company name in the logo.

Infineon Technologies is a German semiconductor manufacturer, known for producing chips related to automotive, industrial, and security solutions. The logo is not explicitly a Beta symbol, but its curved, sweeping style can remind viewers of the Greek Beta letter.

On Markplaats a secondhand website is someone who sells them for €1,50 a piece. He has 70 of them and they are "new", however I see solder residus on the pins.

These transistors are workhorses, not fast but for Audio and power supplies they are great.
