high voltage, low current transistors?

[Smitty Two]

OK, so my boss asked me to source some transistors that operate in the
100 volts plus, sub 100 micro amp range. Has he been drinking too much
Pepsi, or do such things actually exist? (remove first h for email)

MMBTA42 (SMT)
MPSA42 (TO-92)

Around a nickel US or less in moderate volume.

The MPSA42 (NPN) and MPSA92 (PNP) are both capable of handling 300V and
sub milliamp currents. They are available in quantities of 100 or so on
Ebay.

Unmount a CRT-screen/tv and look for the printcard mounted on the rear end
of the CRT tube. On that card, you'll find three transistors that operates
well for high voltage and low current.

The threee transistors that drive the three colors are made to dissipate
quite a bit of power, and are not low current. They have load resistors
that are power resistors, and handle several watts.

I'll go with the audience, Meredith. Forwarded the data sheets on the
MPSA42/92 to the man upstairs and got them rubber-stamped. Thanks,
audience!!! Watson and Spehro saved me a lot of work!

Correct

And are not low current.
I'm disagree. Read the specs for them. Mostly, they wont be able to draw

more than 100 - 200 mA.

They have load resistors that are power resistors, and handle several
watts.

That is right. You are dealing with power transistors: High voltage an not
so high current.

The OP is looking for around 0.1 mA or less.
