Difference between NPN and PNP?

NPN and PNP are transistor types. The difference in the way the layers of semiconductor material are doped with impurities.


Why are npn transistors used more often than pnp transistors?

The primary reason that NPN transistors are used more often than PNP transistors is that they usually operate faster (at higher frequencies) because the mobility of the current carriers in NPN transistors (electrons) is much higher than that of the current carriers in PNP transistors (holes).

Why you use NPN transistors rather than PNP?

Switching is faster in NPN transistor than PNP. Because movement of electrons is faster than holes.


Can PNP transistors be used in place of TIP31 transistors?

No...TIP31 is NPN. The complementary PNP is a TIP32. They are both large high power (40W) devices.

Is PNP sourcing or sinking?

PNP is sourcing. NPN is sinking. You generally connect NPN to ground and your PLC(or any load)input. With PNP you connect to V+ and to your PLC. Your PLC (load) should have the same ground or V+. Sourcing (PNP) provides a path to +24DC generally. Sinking (NPN) provides a path to 0V DC.
