9014 Transistor
The 9014 transistor comes in a TO-92 package, which has three terminals:
E (Emitter) – Current flows out from here.
B (Base) – Controls the transistor.
C (Collector) – Current flows into this terminal.
Modes of operation:
Cut-off Region (OFF): No base current → No collector current.
Active Region (Amplifier): Small base current → Proportional collector current.
Saturation Region (ON/Switching): Base current high → Maximum collector current.
