Transistor Question

[budrevo]

I have quite a few 2n2905a transistors on hand would that be useful in any of your circuits? once the new boards come in im going to order a few anyway!

thanks

actually i have a mess of somewhat unusual parts hanging around if someone has a bit of free time to get me on the right track with this stuff

The best thing to do is to start googling and find as much info as possible. For instance, I typed 2N2905 into google, and it instantly brought up a datasheet for me to look at.

The 2N2905 is a PNP switching transistor in a TO-39 package. So, logically, if you have a circuit that could use a PNP switching diode and will fit a TO-39 type transistor, you could try it out. The 2N3906 is one that pops up when I again use Google.

Google is your part friend.
