2N2222 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N2222 is a versatile NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for both linear amplification and switching applications. Manufactured by Multicomp Pro, this component is packaged in a standard TO-18 metal can, making it suitable for through-hole mounting.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum continuous collector current of 800 mA and a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 40 V (for the 2N2222A variant). The transistor exhibits a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 35 to 300 depending on the specific test conditions and part variant. Its transition frequency (fT) reaches up to 300 MHz, indicating good high-frequency performance.

 

With a total power dissipation of 500 mW at 25°C ambient temperature, the 2N2222 is suitable for moderate power applications. The operating temperature range is from -65°C to +150°C, providing robustness in various environments. Its PNP complement is the 2N2907A.

 

This transistor is a reliable choice for general-purpose amplification and switching circuits where moderate power handling and good frequency response are required. The TO-18 package facilitates easy integration into breadboard or PCB designs.
