Thanks Patrick, maybe I've missed something, but in order to parallel the two Sot-23 parts, their layout should be reversed on opposite sides?
All the double-sided boards appear to have the same orientation on both sides.

For sll Toshiba JFETs, the drain pin and the source pin are reversible.

2SK2145Y = 2x 2 SK209Y

FYI, last time I ordered these from JLCPCB they charged ~$14 for vcut and $3.60 for panelization

I 'only' managed to squeeze 16x17 to stay below the 100mm ceiling for cheap PCBs. 1360 will last for a while 🙂


There is no guaranteed matching specification for 2SK2145.
So in both cases you need to measure.
Depends of course on your application.

They're for the phono input of the Pearl 3 which uses 4 parallel transistors per channel, either 2SK209GRs or 2SK170s, Ids around 2.2mA each.
Pairing should lower noise/increase dynamics; matching should eliminate the 10R current balancing resistors on the sources, and improve channel matching. @Boydk got good results with the 2SK2145GRs; I'm thinking that pairs of 2SK209Ys will make it possible to get closer to the target.

Only hurdle........ Looks like the Y´s are only carried by Alibaba/AliExpress these days.

I think 17,500 pcs should be enough for DIY consumption ?

Octopart if you're desperate... luckily I only need 16 so 100 should do it, and put the mismatches on Ali 😆
We actually have danish supply companies, and on Google, they would be the first to show.Why would you Google ?
Search function not good at Mouser / DK ?

Next would be Digikey, Mouser, Franell, RS-Online and TME, if they carry the products searched for.
YMMV....... but I got your point/tease 🤣
