Hi Anyone know an equivelent transistor i can use instead of 2N6109 also an equivalent for IN4001? please email me direct snipped-for-privacy@tpg.com.au Thanks

** The 2N6109 ( PNP 7 amp, 50 volt 40 watt ) is now a very old device.

The MJE15031 is similar or better in all respects.

The popular and cheap MJE2955T may also be a suitable substitute.

No equivalent to the 1N4001 is needed.

BTW:

The "IN4001" is actually a 1N4001.

Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.

You can generally use a 1N4002, 1N4004, 1N4007 in most cases also, they simply have a higher PIV (Peak Inverse Voltage) and in most cases you wouldn't be trying to use it as a Zener diode! The 4001 through 4007 are readily available.
