C2236 NPN Transistor — 60V, 0.8A, TO-92L

The C2236 is a reliable NPN transistor engineered for general-purpose amplification and switching applications. Its robust construction and consistent electrical parameters make it suitable for a wide range of consumer and industrial electronic circuits.

• Collector-Emitter Voltage: 60V for high-voltage operation.
• Collector Current: 0.8A for moderate power handling.
• DC Current Gain (hFE): 70–700 for versatile amplification.
• Transition Frequency: 100 MHz for high-speed switching.
• Package: TO-92L for easy through-hole PCB integration.

Compared with other transistors in its class, the C2236 offers a balanced combination of voltage tolerance and current capacity, delivering improved frequency response and gain stability relative to many older models. These characteristics yield predictable performance in amplifier stages, driver circuits, and switching elements where stable gain and adequate speed are required.

Its TO-92L package provides simple mounting and reasonable thermal performance for typical through-hole applications, while the broad hFE range and 100 MHz transition frequency allow designers flexibility when selecting biasing and load conditions. The C2236 is well-suited for engineers seeking a cost-effective, dependable transistor for prototypes, repairs, and production assemblies.
