transistor substitution
2017-02-21 by nuwavboy@...
Hello! I have a transistor that I believe is burned out its a TIP29 a 40V - the only other one I have on hand is a TIP31C - which is a 100V - can I substitute this one?

Where is it being used? Power supply? Generally, a higher voltage part can be a replacement for a lower voltage part, but the DC gain for the 100V transistor is somewhat lower than the 40 V part. It may or may not matter in the circuit, depends upon the application and other design values. -Tom Russell
