philips semiconductor transistor keychain
Item #1006
This promotional acrylic keychain from Philips Semiconductor contains one of their Lock-Fit, general-purpose, low power, silicon NPN bipolar junction, BC Series transistors.  

Plastic encapsulated Lock-fit transistors were first introduced by Phillips in 1966 as an alternative to the TO18 type transistor package, but were not universally accepted since the plastic TO92 package had also just been introduced.

Lock-fit transistors were created in 1963 as a joint project between Phillips and British semiconductor company Mullard Ltd.
