Replacement transistor

I need to replace an out of production transitor, a J3303/F19 Panasonic with something I can buy. It has 3 leads, not a surface mount. I don't have the know how to choose a suitable replacement. A link to a guide would be helpful.

Replacing an out-of-production transistor can be tricky, especially without a deep understanding of electronics. To help you find a suitable replacement for the J3303/F19 Panasonic transistor,I recommend you look at the cross-reference list or equivalent transistor database. Some popular resources include: AllTransistor: https://alltransistors.com/ NTE Electronics: http://nte01.nteinc.com/nte/NTExRefSemiProd.nsf/$all/72BF14B50722ACF285257910007E5A0D?OpenDocument geometry dash world Digi-Key: https://www.digikey.com/ Mouser Electronics: https://www.mouser.com/

Enter the J3303/F19 Panasonic information into the search bar, and the database will suggest replacement options with similar electrical characteristics. Pay attention to parameters like voltage rating, current rating, package type (TO-92, TO-220, etc.), and gain bandwidth. Choose a replacement that matches these specifications as closely as possible.
