This transistor includes three pins & its each pin functionality is discussed below. The pin configuration of the 2N2222A transistor is shown below. Continuous Collector current (IC) is 800mA.Video: 2N2222 NPN Transistor as a switch - Arduino example with LED Flash This blog will introduce 2N2222A systematically from its features, pinout to its specifications, applications, also including 2N2222A datasheet and so much more. When base current is removed the transistor becomes fully off, this stage is called as the Cut-off Region and the Base Emitter voltage could be around 660 mV.
This stage is called Saturation Region and the typical voltage allowed across the Collector-Emitter (VCE) or Base-Emitter (VBE) could be 200 and 900 mV respectively. When this transistor is fully biased then it can allow a maximum of 800mA to flow across the collector and emitter. To bias a transistor we have to supply current to base pin, this current (IB) should be limited to 5mA. The maximum amount of current that could flow through the Collector pin is 800mA, hence we cannot connect loads that consume more than 800mA using this transistor. 2N2222A has a gain value of 110 to 800, this value determines the amplification capacity of the transistor. 2N2222A is a NPN transistor hence the collector and emitter will be left open (Reverse biased) when the base pin is held at ground and will be closed (Forward biased) when a signal is provided to base pin.
