Good day to all.

I'm looking for an inexpensive jelly-bean transistor similar to=20
2n4401 but with minimum 60V rating.  Of particular importance is that=20
the DC current gain exceed 200 with collector current of about 1 mA.

I've been going through the many choices at Digikey but I'm finding=20
that although many suitable transistors have decent gain at fairly=20
high currents (100 mA and up), they have sucky gain at low currents=20
(1mA or so).

I'd prefer to stay with a North American part number (2Nxxxx) but=20
would absolutely consider others.

Prefer something fairly robust, similar to the 2N4401.  Decent=20
current rating, in other words.

Suggestions gratefully accepted!

Many thanks!

dwayne
