2n3904 but with a larger Emitter-Base breakdown voltage

2n3904 but with a larger Emitter-Base breakdown voltage needed.
About the same Ft and Beta, or greater is fine.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I′d use my preferred distributor / seller, go to the internet site and use the interactive selection guide for bjts.

Or a cross reference list...
Or a bjt manufacturer′s site...

E-B Breakdown voltage should be around 6-7 Volts for that transistor and it cannot be very different from lot to lot or by manufacturer.

Instead of looking for an NPN transistor that survives having a high negative base voltage then why not use an ordinary common transistor and add a diode to clamp the negative input to a low voltage?
