Thanks for the reply. It is to replace Q104 and Q101. The original 1409 was a 100mhz with current gain between 70 to 280 @2v1A. Supply is 6.5v. That is what I know about the circuit.Insufficient information.
A schematic would be helpful.
- What is the switching frequency of the intended circuit?
- What is the supply voltage?
- What current gain do you need?

Is that a big problem if the frequency is a bit higher at 230mhz instead of the original 100mhz?Just about anything should work here. Based on the original device package of TO-220ML, I'd suggest the 2SA2222SG. https://www.digikey.com/products/en/discrete-semiconductor-products/transistors-bipolar-bjt-single/276?k=&pkeyword=&sv=0&pv1291=3009&sf=1&FV=1280002,1f140000,mu10A|2101,mu12A|2101,mu14A|2101,mu15A|2101,mu5.1A|2101,mu5.3A|2101,mu5.5A|2101,mu5.7A|2101,mu5A|2101,mu6.2A|2101,mu6.6A|2101,mu6A|2101,mu7A|2101,mu8A|2101,mu100V|2103,mu25V|2103,mu30V|2103,mu32V|2103,mu35V|2103,mu40V|2103,mu45V|2103,mu50V|2103,mu60V|2103,mu65V|2103,mu70V|2103,mu75V|2103,mu80V|2103,mu90V|2103,ffe00114,40316e,40203a&quantity=&ColumnSort=0&page=1&pageSize=25
Thanks so much! Would you be able to let me know an equivalent npn?Q101 is operating at DC, and Q104 probably at less than 100 KHz. You don't need a transistor that is good to 100's of MHz.
