Genuine RCA 40250 NPN silicon power transistors offered as a tested pair (2 pieces). Made in USA and manufactured by RCA in the classic TO-3 metal can package.

This tested pair demonstrated close electrical characteristics, with hFE readings of 51 and 57, closely matched Vbe measurements, low saturation voltage readings, and zero collector leakage on both devices.

The RCA 40250 is a vintage USA-manufactured semiconductor that is becoming increasingly difficult to locate in original RCA form. These devices are desirable for restoration work, industrial electronics maintenance, amplifier repair, power supply service, communications equipment repair, and collector inventory.

This listing includes the exact pair shown in the photographs. Both transistors retain original RCA markings and classic TO-3 metal can construction.
