CK722 transistor and package.
The idea[]
An attempt to improve on the CK718 hearing aid transistor. It was a failure there due to not meeting the strict specifications needed for hearing aid usage, but ideal for other less demanding uses. It was the first one that was cheep enough to be sold to hobbyists in the general public.
Manufacturing[]
N\A, but probably akin to then Western practices.
Casing[]
A small oblong, painted, metal case full of epoxy resin or glass powder and with 3 wire legs at the bottom, protruding through a PVC cap at the bottom. It was initially housed in pre-a cast epoxy oblong case during it's first year of use.
