  • Current gain (hFE): 100-300
  • Switching speed: 100ns

Applications

  • Amplifiers
  • Switches
  • Digital logic circuits
  • Audio circuits
  • Power supplies
  • Motor control circuits

How to Use

  1. Connect the collector to the positive supply or load.
  2. Connect the emitter to ground or negative supply.
  3. Connect the base to the input signal or control voltage.
  4. Ensure proper biasing for linear amplification or switching.
