Chicken head transistor

[cniers13]

Anyone know if a PNP transistor can be used if I flip the capacitor polarity? I have some OC44 transistors I want to use

It should be okay just reverse your electrolytic caps and 9v/ground wires

 

[cniers13]

Diode too?

 

[cniers13]

I figured since it's a one PNP transistor it should be doable

 

[Nostradoomus]

What circuit are you building?

 

[Nostradoomus]

But yeah the diode too, anything polarized

 

[cniers13]

The chicken head PCB. Based on the red rooster

 

[Nostradoomus]

Oh haha I shoulda guessed really. I think you can leave the 9v/ground wires as is just flip the polarity of everything else. Also check the pin out against the original transistor (flipped of course) and you should be good to go.

Alrighty thanks! I'll let you know if I have any issues

 

[Nostradoomus]

I’m not 100% sure on the flipping of the 9v/ground wires in this circuit so maybe somebody more informed can chime in

I always build a negative inverter board when I use positive ground effects

 

[cniers13]

I've done the same. Not sure what to do in this case I guess
