I'll be trying my hand at a Propolis soon, so I need some 2N2222's. I have some random black ones I thought were 2N2222, but they seem to be 2N2222A's.
The board itself seems to indicate that metal can transistors are ideal, but I keep on finding 2N2222A's like this: https://stompboxparts.com/2n2222a-npn-transistor-metal-can/
Going forward, are these essentially interchangeable? Within the "A" category is there a benefit to using the metal cans rather than the plastic ones I have? Metal can 2N2222's seem harder to come by. I've also read that 2N3906 is a decent sub for these...
Thanks, very curious!
