text: The germanium transistor was more common in the 1950s and 1960s but has a greater tendency to exhibit thermal runaway.
text: The germanium transistor was more common in the 1950s and 1960s, and while it exhibits a lower "cut off" voltage, typically around 0.2 V, making it more suitable for some applications, it also has a greater tendency to exhibit thermal runaway.
text: The germanium transistor was more common in the 1950s and 1960s, and while it exhibits a lower "turn on" voltage (Vbe), typically around 0.2 V, making it more sensitive, it also has a greater tendency to exhibit thermal runaway.
