FFF CompatibilityThe pinout mapping is identical (Pin 1: Emitter, Pin 2: Base, Pin 3: Collector), but the package style is TO-92 instead of the original TO-106.The physical housing changes from the obsolete dome-shaped plastic TO-106 outline to the standard flat-faced TO-92 outline.Meets or exceeds the original electrical specs, including a 40V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and 200mA current capacity, making it a highly reliable replacement.
AI Summary

2N4916 by Central Semiconductor Corp: Bipolar (BJT) Transistor PNP 30 V 400MHz Through Hole TO-106.

The 2N3906 is a universally available, highly active general-purpose PNP transistor in a standard TO-92 package that serves as an excellent modern replacement for the obsolete 2N4916.

  • Widely available and highly active industry standard part from multiple manufacturers
  • Meets or exceeds 2N4916 voltage rating (40V vs 30V) and collector current (200mA vs 100mA)
  • Maintains the same standard Emitter-Base-Collector (EBC) pinout mapping
  • Slightly lower transition frequency (250 MHz vs the original 400 MHz) which may affect specialized high-frequency RF circuits.

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.

  1. All your BOM, at once

    Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.

  2. Hear about problems before they hit production

    Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.

  3. Qualified replacements in minutes, not days

    Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.
