Frequently Asked Questions
What case style does the 2N1193 use?
The 2N1193 is housed in a standard three-lead TO-5 metal package with gold-plated leads.
Is the 2N1193 silicon or germanium?
It is an alloy-junction germanium PNP transistor.
How does the 2N1193 compare to other members of the 2N1191 through 2N1194 family?
The 2N1193 shares the same TO-5 package and 40V collector-base voltage rating as the rest of the family, but provides a higher DC current gain range of 70 to 300.
Nothing rounds off an audio transient quite like genuine vintage germanium. Drop this gold-lead classic into your bench project and let six decades of circuit history speak for itself.
