Any ideas for what to do with a lot of 2N3906 transistors?

I found a bag of them at a hamfest years ago and I just came across it again when getting rid of some junk. I thought I threw it out, guess not!

I do not know how many I have. The reason why is because I'd say I have about half a kilo of them. It would take a significant amount of time to count them all.

My Ultra Scientific Test of a few of them (putting the base and collector on the positive of a 9 volt battery and the emitter on the negative and seeing if the transistor got hot) shows that most, if not all of them should still be functional.

@kilroy_was_here Match them to a bucket of 2N3904s? No.

@bobcromwell Assuming 0.15 grams per transistor, arranging the marriage would be about $134 at digikey.

Classy!

With the 2N3906s wiki and PCB archive. 😀

@kilroy_was_here Look for someone who has a bag of 2N3904 transistors, maybe.
