Do we have a transistor which is equivalent to d718

HI, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE AN OUTPUT TRANSISTOR. AT LEAST THIS IS THE TYPE OF TRANSISTOR THE 2SD718 IS USED FOR MOST COMMONLY. IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLES IN PARALLEL, YOU SHOULD REPLACE ALL. ALSO, I ALWAYS USE THE EXACT REPLACEMENT, NO SUBSTITUTES. TOO MANY PROBLEMS DEVELOP WHEN USING THE NTE EQUIVALENTS. THIS IS A 2SD718 AND COMES IN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT CASE STYLES. MAKE SURE THE CASE STYLE IS THE SAME. USUALLY TO-218 WITH THE TOP TAB BEING EXPOSED METAL. SOME ARE TOTALLY ENCAPSULATED WITH THE PLACSTIC EXTENDING AROUND THE TAB. YOU JUST HAVE TO ASK THE SUPPLIER. MANY SUPPLIERS. DALBANI.COM IS ONE. IF YOU ORDER 2SD718# THE # IS AN ORIGINAL PULLED FROM WORKING EQUIPMENT AND ARE RIGHT AT $1.80EA. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD GOOD LUCK WITH THESE PULLS OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES. ALSO, IF THIS TRANSISTOR ACTUALLY SHORTED, MAKE SURE TO CHECK ALL OF YOUR EMITTER RESISTORS AND SUROUNDING DRIVER TRANSISTORS. OK. HOPE THIS HELPS.....V

NTE36 is allegedly equivalent.
