Re: Burnt , Blown parts
>>Transistors can be blown by excessive  
 
voltage or excessive current, by being  
 
incorrectly connected (wrong pins), or  
 
in the case of FETs, static discharge.<<<  
 
 
 
Jfets are no more susceptible to static than bipolar transistors. OTOH, mosfets would require careful handling to avoid static discharge.
