Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Micro Commercial Components documentation to confirm pinout configuration and electrical tolerances. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability records. Confirm that the received components match the specified TO-92 package dimensions and lead frame material. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with the latest datasheet revision to avoid discrepancies in absolute maximum ratings or thermal characteristics during integration.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole NPN transistor with 30V rating and 600mA current capacity is required. The TO-92 package facilitates manual assembly and prototyping. Consider the 300MHz transition frequency for high-speed switching or amplification needs. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 200°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance for power dissipation limits in enclosed environments.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This transistor belongs to the MPS2222 series of general-purpose NPN bipolar junction transistors. It serves as a through-hole alternative to surface-mount variants like the MMST2222A-TP. The series is widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems where robust amplification and switching capabilities are necessary. MCC manufactures these devices using silicon planar epitaxial technology for consistent performance.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers include MPS2222-H and MPS2222-L-BP from Micro Commercial Components. Verify compatibility regarding pinout orientation and thermal resistance before substitution. Other generic equivalents may exist but require independent validation of electrical parameters against the original specifications.
