Description

The 2N2369 is a silicon NPN switching transistor listed in the Agenda radioelectronistului (2nd edition, 1989) among the bipolar transistors made in Romania by IPRS Băneasa, in a TO-18 package [1].

Coded as (JEDEC system) [2]:

Part Meaning
2 device with 3 electrodes (transistor, thyristor etc.)
N semiconductor device
2369 identification number (01–9999)

hFE (h21E) measured at IC = 10 mA, VCE = 1 V; Vce sat at IC = 10 mA [1].

2N2369A

The 2N2369A is a silicon transistor made by IPRS Băneasa, one of the representative export products of its section 2500 in 1980–1985 [3]. In 1980–1985 section 2500 of IPRS exported 30% of its output by value – over 10 million components – without quality complaints; its representative export types were the 1N148 and BA244 diodes and the 2N2369A, BF173, BB126, BC171, BC172, BC173, BC174, 2N2222, 2N2222A and BF458 [3].

The Agenda lists the 2N2369A a second time in the same table, marked as a CCSIT-CE component (ICCE), with these values: VCBO = 60 V, VCEO = 40 V, Ptot = 360 mW, Tj = 175 °C, Vce sat = 0.5 V at IC = 100 mA, hFE (h21E) = 40…120 at IC = 10 mA, VCE = 1 V, ton = 12 ns, toff = 18 ns, TO-18 package [4]. The specifications above are those of the first listing, on p. 540.
