Hello,
I recently purchased some Toshiba power transistors
from a supplier. I noticed they looked a bit odd compared to the originals. I am aware that there is a problem with counterfeit semiconductors so I have decided to seek some opinions about these before I attempt installation. The links below show the photos I have taken of them. So the question is do the new devices appear to be genuine or counterfeit?
Thanks.

The original devices.

The new devices.
These are the replacements.

Boy.. That will be a problem for anyone to tell you other than the manufacturer. I would contact Toshiba or a Toshiba rep and provide these links to them. They are generally more than happy to help because counterfits cause them great harm in several ways.
