Wow... what a question. What do you mean by that?
Considering low noise: BC550, BC556, BC549B, BC109B, BC547B, BC179, BC477, BC177. To make a final choice you will need to consult the tables of technical data which are normally provided in catalogues. I suggest this site: http://www.im.pwr.wroc.pl/~med/jn/karty_katalogowe.html .pdf files provides information you need. Peace! TH.J.B

anyone remember the OC71 ?...oops, showing my age...
(used to be common in the 60s, and you could scrape the paint off and make a phototransisitor...

if you are looking for
germanium power transistors ( >= 1 Ampere ) it is not many complementary pairs PNP + NPN There are however some powerful devices. I have found one guy selling NEW EXEMPLARS in Original Package of these: > 2N268 .. PNP .. 80Volt 3Ampere 30Watt .. looks almost like TO-3 > OC16 .. probably PNP ...in older power case They do NOT come cheap ![]() Complementary Pairs. Often used are: -------------------------------------- AC127 + AC128 0.3 / 1 Watt AC187 + AC188 1 / 1 Watt So AC187 (npn) + AC188 (pnp) are one of the few Pairs above 1 Watt See attached picture of 2N268, 30 Watt PNP

There are lists with DATA specifications
of some Germanium transistors. I will put together one PDF or ZIP file, later. OC16 .. I mentioned is: PNP, 32V 1.5A 6.25Watt By the way, in Solid State forum if you post germanium question there you will probably get a lot more info from Older Electronics Repair Service members. We have quite a few of those at www.diyaudio.com I know Enjoy ![]() Lineup Germanium Transistor History & Info forum
