HIGH SPEED SWITCHES

PRELIMINARY DATA

DESCRIPTION
The 2N2219A and 2N2222A are silicon Planar
Epitaxial NPN transistors in Jedec TO-39 (for
2N2219A) and in Jedec TO-18 (for 2N2222A)
metal case. They are designed for high speed
switching application at collector current up to
500mA, and feature useful current gain over a
wide range of collector current, low leakage
currents and low saturation voltage.
