2N2218 Overview

The DC current gain is the ratio of the base current to the collector current βdc = Ic/Ib and the DC current gain for this device is 40 @ 150mA 10V.Saturation of VCE means Ic is at its maximum value (saturated), and VCE saturation (Max) is 1.6V @ 50mA, 500mA.Keeping the emitter base voltage at 5V allows for a high level of efficiency.Product comes in the supplier's device package TO-39 (TO-205AD).The device has a 30V maximal voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown.Single BJT transistor is possible for the collector current to fall as low as 800mA volts at Single BJT transistors maximum.
