2N2222A NPN Transistor

A semiconductor device, the 2N2222A, is used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It's made of semiconductor material and has at least three terminals for connecting to a circuit outside of it. The current through another pair of terminals is controlled by a voltage or current applied to one pair of transistor terminals. A transistor can magnify a signal because the regulated (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input) power.
