transistor


Explanation:
I would say "transistor with cut-off aspect ratio xxx xxx". There is no such thing as a cut-off transistor. If you know the type of transistor (PNP, NPN and so on) then you could state this otherwise I would leave it as txistor and specify the aspect ratio

switch transistor


Explanation:
This is how I would translate it. It is fairly specific.

The aspect ratio most likely refers to the physical size of the transistor in the maskworks (layout).
