EnglishDefinition
an early type of bipolar junction transistor consisting of a germanium crystal forming the base, with emitter and collector alloy beads fused on opposite sides.
Examples
- 1.All types of alloy-junction transistors became obsolete in the early 1960s, with the introduction of the planar transistor which could be mass-produced easily while alloy-junction transistors had to be made individually.
Synonyms
- alloy transistor 1
