I'm just building a circuit and I want to know what is the emitter, base and collector
**broken link removed**

The first (left to right), is the emitter, the pin in the middle is the base and the pin of the right is the collector?

I have seen the datasheet, but I'm still a little confused. Thank you.

It's a MOSET so it doesn't have an emitter, base or collector.

Read the datasheet and the Wikipedia article on MOSFETs, for more information.

if having no datasheet for the bipolar transitor, using VOM, sometime i use it to determine pins

First the IRF840 is an N-channel MOSFET, no a bipolar junction transistor. It has a drain, gate, and source, not a collector, base, and emitter. This information is available by Googling the datasheet. To answer your own question try this...Google: IRF820

OOPS! forgot to send.
