Product type
NPN bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are semiconductor devices that amplify current. They consist of three layers of doped semiconductor material, typically silicon, and are designed to control the flow of current between the collector and emitter terminals based on the input current applied to the base terminal. NPN transistors are widely used in various electronic circuits for switching and amplification purposes.
| Material | Silicon |
| Configuration | NPN |
| Maximum Collector Current | 100 mA to 10 A |
| Maximum Collector-Emitter Voltage | 30 V to 100 V |
| Gain (hFE) | 50 to 1000 |
| Package Types | TO-92, TO-220, SMD |
When selecting NPN bipolar junction transistors, consider the maximum collector current and voltage ratings to ensure they meet your circuit requirements. It's also important to specify the gain (hFE) needed for your application. Additionally, check for package types that fit your design, and inquire about any necessary certifications or tolerances for your specific use case.
