Goodbye TO92 bipolars. It's been nice.

No, he's right. BU/AT are inherited from Fairchild with separate datasheet and made on a different process. The old Motorola part appears to be legitimately gone. Dunno if anyone will miss it, though.

Think I use SOT23s more for prototyping than TO-92s. Really only use them on the solderless breadboard.

Digikey list 127 TO92 NPN bjts, >10K stock on many of them

You're right. I missed it by the newer Digikey search listings. I flew past the "TO-226-3, TO-92-3..." stuff and just selected the things that started with TO-92. Then I went to ON's site, searched on "2N3906", clicked the first link, and everything in the list was obsolete. I reacted too soon.

But what does that matter, given that they’ve always been equivalent parts?
And besides, the thread title is “ Goodbye TO92 bipolars. It's been nice.” and it’s categorically untrue that TO-92 BJTs are gone.
