Hello, I have a few 2N2222A in TO-18 metal can package as pictured below: http://i.imgur.com/UYKAuyD.jpg http://i.imgur.com/F5AzBtL.jpg Are these germanium or silicon? What would be the advantage of using the TO-18 package over TO-92 package? What is the approximate value of that transistor in TO-18 package (ST Brand)?
