A current limiting resistor is also in the circuit for limiting the base current because it could be damaged the transistor if the source current is greater than 5mA.


Therefore, it could be used in that application such as switching and amplifications where BC547 transistor has been using.But the only difference between them is the continuous collector current and total power dissipation of this transistor.This 2N2222 NPN transistor has almost the same technical specifications as BC547 NPN transistor.
