Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for MMBT3906 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Use an MMBT3906-equivalent PNP SOT-23 with verified pinout and at least 40 V VCEO.

Main risk

Most candidates have wrong polarity; the kept PNP has lower voltage rating.
