So, IF you sink it well enough, it will do 626mW, HOWEVER, since it is
NOT at 25C from the onset of dissipation effects, that value is bogus for
free air operation. I don't expect you to understand, however.

That's complete nonsense. As to be expected from you.

Notice that at 600mA (*absolute* max per data sheet), the maximum Vce
is rather close to 1V as well as close to "saturation"?
Hey, if i am going to use a transistor as a switch, i will have to a
lot better than that!
And in the linear region, well, let us say that large currents are
not conducive to cool sand.

There's no shortage of better devices to use as switches than a 2N2222.

Yawn. You keep damning the part, then claim to be an expert on it's

The data sheet tells all that's required. I don't use BC548 for everything either
nor would I suggest they'd be appropriate to do everything.

Weeping sores? Dweebish bores? EEW! (British donkey) whores?

BTW, I finally found out was was causing the pressure sores. I had
made a HUGE mistake, by listening to my doctors, about using any salt in
my food. A couple weeks ago I had a horrible craving for salt, and had
over 30 sores on my legs. I decided that if they weren't going to get
better, and I was always feeling like crap that i didn't give a damn
about sodium, or high blood pressure. I made a pot of Chili, seasoned
to taste. It was so good that every meal for the next several days
had salt. After three days, the wounds started to heal, and after two
weeks I only have three small sores, but none are weeping. I'm feeling
better, and regaining some strength. My vision is clearer, and I'm
sleeping better. I just with that 400+ pound sorry excuse of a doctor
was still at the VA clinic so I could tell her off.


BTW, my sense of humor is returning, as well! You have been warned,
so put down your glass before opening any of my messages! ;-)

No, I needed regular salt, to replace the salt loss caused by all the
different medicine. Do you have any idea how much salt you lose from
multiple open wounds, with plasma running down your ankles 24/7?
