I have an application that uses a 2N3440 transistor, which is in a TO-39b package, in a very demanding environment, high temp 300 DEG F plus, and a lot of vibration. Eventually one of the leads will break. I've tried mounting it flush to the PCB, away from the PCB, buffered with silicone, etc, but eventually it will break. Does anyone know a substitute in a flat package like a TO-220? Thank you in advance
