I have breadboarded a circuit using ap piv and an 2n3904 to switch on 1W LEDs using a power supply that had around a 200mA output a 5v> I'm now ready to run this circuit using the correct current or 350mA of a new power supply but I am not sure about reading the datasheet correctly.
The 2n3904 datasheet says that max IC is 200 mA. Am I correct to think that this npn is undersizd for the task at 350mA?
