Another TPR Question

[chilloutdocdoc]

Just saw the BOM put up. Is there any reason we couldn't use this transistor?

It's a bit cheaper, and could add up to some savings IF it works. Figured I'd ask the smart people that actually designed it.

Need to compare specs, but 2222's are all close.

Why not use this one...... well the pinouts are different to the screenprint on the board and as i have already posted the BOM i'd prefer not to change.

Having to install the transistor backwards to the screen printing can confuse people not used to it.

This applies to anyone looking to buy their own parts - 2n2222 transistors will have different pinouts.
