[QUOTE="marantz123, post: 872109, member: 16849"] Family_Dog / Gareth Something may catch your eye when ordering these. They are of a "new" case/package type called the "TO-204". Your original case designation is "TO-3". All references found thus far state that they are the same as the TO3 package, but still would like to know exactly what has changed. The datasheet states that the newer technology used in these transistors allow for a smaller case size...I can only assume/speculate at this point that the footprint is the same, but may be a slimmer (less thickness) package than the original TO3. (I had some 2N3442's (proper old TO3) that look alot thicker than the TO-204). Let us know what differences you find, but you should be fine wrt the footprint size/hole/pin spacing. [/QUOTE]
