Hello.
The circuit I am trying to make requires a TIP42 PNP transistor. (Datasheet)
I want to order along with my other components from digikey, but digikey doesn't have an SMD version of this transistor.
Rather than ask "What's a good replacement?" I'm asking "What are the key data points to look for when searching for a replacement?" What are the must haves? What are the "good to get as close as you could"s. That kind of thing. I have no electrical engineering background, so those data sheets can be a bit overwhelming. If I could narrow down the attributes to search for that would be really helpful. Thanks !
