Hi
Can anyone tell me why the main difference is between these 2 transistors:

http://cpc.farnell.com/on-semiconductor/p2n2222ag/transistor-npn-to-92/dp/SC12549?Ntt=P2N2222A
I know that's an open ended question. I am trying to work out why I would have bought the mps2222a, I can only imagine I was buying 2222a transistors and I bought them to cover the bases as I don't rightly know enough to make a proper informed purchase when it comes to components.
I think at the time I was reading about using transistors to switch small motors on with microcontroller pins.
Are the mps2222a transistors going to perform the same?
The mps2222a is named a general purpose transistor, and the pins seem to be numbered different, but it is still npn not pnp.
The psn2222a is named and amplifier transistor.
Does that mean the mps2222a has no amplification characteristics.
Thanks
