what transistor can I substitute for a C4382?

[fuadramsey]

I have an SWR Workingman's 12 amp. One of the transistors has two broken leds. The transistor is a C4382. Here is a website with a photo of it: Transistor 2SC4382 C4382-Large Photo & Picture

Is there an easily found substitute for this part like an NTE equivalent?


Thanks!

The 2SC4382 can easily be found. Even on eBay... 2SC4382 SANKEN NPN TRIPLE DIFFUSED PLANAR TRANSISTOR - eBay (item 350237879044 end time Jul-04-10 22:11:35 PDT)

You may replace it with any T0220F (or TO220 with suitable insulation) NPN @ 200V / 2A / 25W / 15MHz / 60 Hfe.

NTE suggests the NTE2582 as a suitable replacement - slightly lower Hfe, much better current and voltage specs.

B&D Enterprises sells the real part for $2.59 and shows them in stock. MCM sells them at $3.49.

I'd wager the NTE "this isn't really what you want but it is what we'd put in its place" part sells for more than that. $4.47 at Mouser.
