I want to know the answer to the following question:
what does the 2N is the JEDEC EIA370 mean?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The JEDEC EIA370 transistor device numbers usually start with "2N", indicating a three-terminal device (dual-gate field-effect transistors are four-terminal devices, so begin with 3N), then a 2, 3 or 4-digit sequential number with no significance as to device properties (although early devices with low numbers tend to be germanium).". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
