Maximum tolerance of 2N2222 is 60V across its base and collector. For the collector current of 10mA and for 10 volts the DC current is around 75. The maximum capacity of handling frequency is 250MHz. The total power of this component should not exceed by 500mW. The key characteristics associated with 2N2222 are given below. That was the brief description of the power, current and voltage ratings of the IC 2N2222. This IC should be operated between the temperature ranging from -65 to 200 degree celcius. It can drive high amount of current loads as compared to the other similar transistors i.e. emitter base voltage is 12 times lesser than the voltage across the collector emitter junction. From the above table you can see the voltage across collector base junction is almost double as compared to the voltage across collector emitter junction. The current, power and voltage ratings for 2N 2222 transistor are shown in the table given below. Pin configuration is shown in the figure below. That was the description of the pins of the transistor. The functions associated with each pin of 2N2222 along with the pin names are shown in the table given below. 2N2222 Pinout is shown in the figure below:. 2N 2222 has 3 pins in total, which are:. The major functional area of 2N-2222 is enclosed in TO-18 package. It is most common in the market due to the cost efficiency and the smaller size. It can be used for amplification of analog signals as well as switching applications. Introduction to 2N2222 2N2222 is the most common NPN bipolar junction transistor available in the market. Analog signal could be the voice signal having the analog frequency of almost 4kHz (human voice). While performing amplification applications, it receives an analog signal via collectors and another signal is applied at its base. Its applications may include amplification of analog signals as well as switching applications. Normally it is capable of switching a load current of 800mA which is really high rating as compared to other similar transistors. It is either made up of silicon or germanium material and doped with either positively or negatively charged material.
One of its key features is its ability to handle the high values of currents as compared to the other similar small transistors. Due to the low cost and small size it is the most commonly used transistor.
