How to find semiconductor replacements?

[Charles]

JEDEC part numbers used to mean something for discrete devices, now they
relate more to memory devices (ICs) and the like.

JEDEC still suggests package outlines, but they appear to have backed off
from other details that used to help repair technicians select reasonable
replacements for solid state devices. The 1N, 2N, 3N system is now
officially dead?

Pro-electron seems to be hanging in there, in this regard.

** Do tell us more.

** Plenty on sale last time I looked.

http://www.nteinc.com for universal replacements. For OEM parts, use
Google to find stock, if available.


I can't believe that you don't know this, if you actually taught
electronics.
