    Easy way to read the IC or Trans./Mosfet info.

    A lot of times it is difficult to read numbers and letters on a part. The easiest thing to do besides a magnifier, is to take a little white heat sink compound and rub it on the part. Then take a paper towel or rag to wipe away the excess. The white against the black stands out and usually you will not need a magnifying glass.

    Thanks for the useful tip.

    But those days the printing over electronic parts is made by laser or special paint, therefore your trick could be somewhat useful for older threw hole parts.

      Most power supplies still use through hole technology. I used this just yesterday on a power supply transistor and opamp. It still has its place.
