Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm package type and shipping quantity. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free availability if required by assembly specifications. Ensure the component matches the exact MPS2222ARL designation to avoid discrepancies in electrical ratings or physical dimensions during integration.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard NPN transistor with moderate voltage ratings and high current capacity is required. Consider the TO-92 through-hole package for prototyping or applications where surface-mount space is not constrained. Evaluate thermal resistance requirements based on the expected duty cycle and ambient operating conditions to ensure safe junction temperatures are maintained.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the MPS2222 series of general-purpose NPN transistors produced by onsemi. The 'ARL' suffix specifically denotes the Tape & Reel shipping configuration containing 2000 units per reel. This variant maintains the same electrical performance as bulk packaged versions while facilitating automated surface-mount or through-hole insertion processes.
