ok i have a little circuit here that uses a npn switching transistor. if any of what i say is wrong just let me know i am very much in the learning process.
well anyways here is the circuit that i want ot use
**broken link removed**
ok well the 2n3055 is a pain to mount from what i see of it, and mainly i would like something that has a higher wattage rating.
the basic reson for this circuit is to get away from using a 50watt zener.
but anyways what i wanted to ask was will this transistor work in its place. it is just an npn 200w that i found on mouser. and i also like the mounting style of it much more.

from the limited information i have giving is it possible to know what to look for to know if this transistor will work in place of the 2n3055? if so what is it that i would mainly be looking for and if not what other information woudl be neaded?
nearly all of my limited electronics experince has been with older tube equipment so this is new to me.
thanks if anyone can stear me in the right dirction.
i would like to be able to find out how to chose the correct transistor for my neads and know what to look for. in this type of a circuit.
thanks again![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
