2N5088 Transistor Description:

2N5088 is a general purpose TO-92 package transistor. It is designed to be used for low noise and high gain amplification purposes and it can also used as a switch. As an amplifier it is capable to amplify many types of low gain signals to high gain with extra noise cutoff. It can also be used as a separate amplifier at the output of different audio circuits to drive a small 2 to 3 inch speaker. On the other hand when used as a switch it is capable to drive load of 100mA continues and 200mA in peak mode.
