2N2222A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N2222A is a general-purpose NPN silicon bipolar junction transistor designed for low-power switching and amplification applications. It is housed in a TO-18 (TO-206AA) metal can package with through-hole mounting.

 

Key electrical specifications include a minimum collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 40V, a maximum collector current of 800mA, and a typical transition frequency of 250MHz. The device offers a DC current gain (hFE) of at least 75 at 10mA collector current and 10V Vce, with a maximum Vce saturation voltage of 1V at 500mA collector current.

 

The transistor is rated for a maximum power dissipation of 500mW (datasheet) and can operate at junction temperatures up to 175°C. It features low collector-base capacitance (8pF) and fast switching times with 25ns rise and 60ns fall times.
