2N2222A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N2222A is a general-purpose NPN bipolar junction transistor manufactured by On Semiconductor. It is designed for low-power switching and amplification applications.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 40V, a maximum collector current of 800mA, and a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 100 at 150mA and 10V. The transistor offers a transition frequency of 250MHz, making it suitable for RF and high-speed switching circuits. Collector-base capacitance is 8pF, and switching times are 25ns rise and 60ns fall.

 

The device is housed in a TO-18 metal can package (TO-206AA) with through-hole mounting. Maximum power dissipation is 500mW, and the operating junction temperature range extends to 175°C. The 2N2222A is a popular choice for general-purpose switching and linear amplification.
