BEWARE! The UDN6118A and UDN6118A-1 transistor arrays are heavily counterfeited. Allegro stopped making these in February of 2002. Easiest way to spot counterfeits - always look at the four digit date code on the second line. The Chinese counterfeiter's -love- to provide seemingly new parts to customers so the date codes always reflect relatively recent dates on them. If your date code is higher than 0210 (10th week of 2002) -- you can be assured that the part is counterfeit.
Also beware of sellers providing parts with a "-2" suffix. These are the low voltage version of the 6118 and have an absolute maximum rating of 60V. Only place these will safely work is on a Gottlieb 4-digit display.
