The 2N2207 (P/N 151-063,151-0063-00) is a germanium PNP transistor with
- ft= 140 MHz
- IC (max) = 50 mA
- hfe (min) = 36
The 2N2207 is used in a variety of 1960s Tektronix equipment including the 3B1, 547, 321A, and 3B3.
Due to tin whiskers growing inside the case, 2N2207 are a common source of problems on equipment of the period.
In most (but not all) circuits, a failed 2N2207 can be replaced with a modern silicon PNP transistor. Such a replacement may need to involve several coupled transistors/diodes (see link for an example).
