Well, then toss them. I would not trust them for switching either. Who knows what went wrong during production and when they will fail.


Virtually all modern transistors will self-oscillate if applied
incorrectly. I'd play my money on bad design.

Well, think what you want, the units were tested in 2 different
jig circuits and failed at aprox the same current in common
emitter test and emitter follower test. Playing with different
biasing and voltages didn't seem to matter. Only the Ice seem
to be a factor.
If we attempted to suppress the noise it would place an attenuated
dip in that region of linearity of the circuit. Basically, it was almost acting like a tunnel effect at that point.

They do seem to work well for switching how ever. We send back a
few to the supplier for them to look at before they were going to
replace them. We had made a large order of these which were fairchild
made. They were suppose to send us a different vender of the product but
we ended up with Fairchild again with a different date code. These were
fine.

I kind of think that many look at the 2222 as a switching transistor
and not much used in linear applications with this family. Maybe the
fab house also thought this and didn't care. Just correct the problem and call it a day.
