Title: Need help sourcing parts for softie 3
Post by: DLM on April 02, 2021, 12:28:05 AM
Hello , I am having  a problem finding and getting a  Bipolar transistor 2n3904bu for my softie 3 build . On the mouser cart it says back ordered 43 weeks . I searched around and only could find them on amazon (at 6.00 to 12.00 each . little pricey )  and on amazon  it says 2n3904  without the bu on the it . As I am not  educated in electronics , I do not know the difference of the parts I'm looking at . Can someone please advise ?

2n4904 should be fine. I've never had an issue. Last ones I bought came from ebay.
