The datasheet of a switching BJT from NXP: PMBT2369 mentions
collector-base break down voltage = 40V (emitter open)
collector-emitter break down voltage = 15V (base open)
Now if we don't leave the base terminal open, say by shunting it with a 10K resistor between base-emitter then can we operate the BJT at higher voltages than 15V. How high can we go safely?
Thanks
