It is wise to scan through the datasheet of the component before you incorporate this device into your electrical project. These bipolar junction transistors are current-controlled devices while MOSFETs are the type of transistors that are voltage-controlled devices and carry terminals named drain, source, and gate.When comparing NPN transistors with PNP transistors, the NPN transistors are preferred over PNP transistors because electrons can flow faster than holes, making PNP devices more valuable for a range of applications.Moreover, current flows from emitter to collector terminal in PNP transistors while in the case of NPN transistors current flows in opposite direction i.e.Similarly, both electrons and holes play a vital role in the conductivity of PNP transistors but here holes are majority carriers and electrons are minority carriers.In NPN transistors, both electrons and holes are responsible for the conductivity of the device, however, electrons are major charge carriers in this case while holes are minority carriers.Bipolar junction transistors are divided into two types where one is an NPN transistor and the other is a PNP transistor.

holes and electrons, play a vital role in the conductivity of the device.

It is mainly used for switching and amplification purposes and comes in the TO-220 package.

In this post today, I’ll demonstrate the Introduction to MJE13003.
