BC485B Equivalent

[goofenstein]

Does anybody know of an equivalent to a BC485B transistor. I found a blown one in my reel to reel and need to replace it. I haven't been able to find any information on them except for one datasheet(http://cn.ic-on-line.cn/IOL/datasheet/bc489_778187.pdf)

Thanks.

Mouser stocks BC489A, select that for hFE and you should be fine. There are many others that are probably OK. BC33740 is also in stock at Mouser and is a bit cheaper, and you wouldn't have to select, as long as 0.8A vs. 1A is OK.

Thanks for the info sir. I ended up just throwing in a 2n4401(im too impatient to order parts online) in there and it works just fine so far.

Brilliant, next time don't bother to ask me then, and learn to read a datasheet.
