No, they don't get at all hot. 3906 transistors are rated at 40 volts max and 1 amp hooked up to 1/4 watt resistors. Nothing gets hot. Not even warm up to a 6 milliamp draw were I to set the current that high and short the out put. Then it gets warm.
At one milliamp with shorted output...nothing gets the least bit hot.
