Product Description
New Old Stock GT402 (ГТ402) USSR/Soviet Transistor. PNP Germanium. Big bullet casing, and cool vintage vibe. Great option for Q2 position of a Fuzz Face, or anywhere a higher gain, low leakage Ge transistor is required.
These may be GT402 A, B, G, N, or V
Strange pinout. Check before putting in your circuit (pinout available with quick google search, or use a TC1).
Choose your hFE range*, higher number is higher gain. Most of these are very low leakage, anything leaky or unstable has been sorted out.
UNTESTED option: Expect a fallout rate of about 10%. Very wide gain range from 70 to about 200. No returns/refunds/exchanges on these. You get what you get!
*Note, germanium is temperature sensistive, these were measured in a warehouse that is about 70°F. Tested with RG Keens method. Anything unstable was rejected. Leakage is below 300uA unless otherwise specified. These hFE ranges are meant to be ballpark ranges and it is not guaranteed that your transistor will fall perfectly in that range. Example, if you choose 80-90, it might be 75 or 95, but it will not be outrageously outside the selected range.
