Description

The 2N3442 is a low-frequency silicon NPN power transistor listed in the Agenda radioelectronistului (2nd edition, 1989) among the bipolar transistors made in Romania by IPRS Băneasa, in a TO-3 package [1].

Coded as (JEDEC system) [2]:

Part Meaning
2 device with 3 electrodes (transistor, thyristor etc.)
N semiconductor device
3442 identification number (01–9999)

hFE (h21E) measured at IC = 3 A; Vce sat at IC = 3 A [1].

The 1st edition of the Agenda (1983) prints the code as „2N 3442 (BDX 11)” [3].
