The ETCO 2N185 is a Germanium point-contact transistor belonging to the historic 2N series. This series, established by RETMA, provided a common numbering system for transistors from various manufacturers.
The 2N185 is designed for applications such as AF amplification and as a low-power switch or oscillator. It utilizes point-contact technology and is constructed from Germanium.
This transistor is available in Western Electric's 'outline number 1' cartridge case or 'outline number 2' bead case. The 'outline number 1' case plugs into a small socket, while the 'outline number 2' case features a plastic semidisk encapsulating the Germanium die with connections via thin wires for emitter and collector.
While specific electrical parameters like collector current, voltage ratings, and gain are not detailed here, its historical context and application areas suggest its use in early electronic circuits.
