Bipolar Transistors
Bipolar Transistors
Bipolar transistors use both electrons and electron holes as charge carriers, allowing a small current injected at one of its terminals to control a much larger current flowing between two other terminals, making the device capable of amplification or switching.
Bipolars have a Base, Collector, Emitter:
Do you see the arrow on the emitter? An easy way to remember which round:
- NPN – Not Pointing iN
- PNP – Pointing iN
These are the very simplest form of the transistor, but are a great place to start, and are easy to get using. If you need help, check out our blog or contact our technical team via email for support.
