Additional Details:

The PN202S typically operates with a collector-emitter voltage of up to 50V (specific value depends on the exact datasheet). The transition frequency is a measure of the transistor's high-frequency performance. The device is packaged in a through-hole package (likely TO-92), making it easy to solder onto printed circuit boards. The exact gain (hFE), collector current, and saturation voltage vary slightly depending on the specific production batch, so refer to the datasheet for precise parameters. It is a commonly used transistor in many basic electronic circuits.
