Even though it has only two types of charge carriers we will not call it as a diode but a transistor since it is a three terminal device.

What types of transistors are the following - BJT PCT UJT SBT FET GJT AJT DFT?

The BJT is the bipolar junction transistor, the PCT is the point contact transistor, the UJT is the uni-junction transistor, the SBT is the surface barrier transistor, the FET is the field effect transistor, the GJT is the grown-junction transistor, the AJT is the alloy-junction transistor, and the DFT is the drift field-junction transistor.


Difference between bjt and ujt?

UJT is the voltage controlled device.in which only one mejority carriers are responsible for current flowing. UJT is one junction transistor and it is three terminal emitter and two base. BJT is the current controlled device. in which both mejority and minority carrier are responsiblefor current flowing. this type of transistor consists of two junction and three terminal these are : emitter , base , collector.


Can UJT replace BJT?

No. A unijunction transistor (UJT) is entirely different in design and application than a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). The UJT works on the principle of voltage modulation of the effective substrate resistance, while the BJT works on the principle of current amplification from one junction to the other, usually base-emitter to collector-emitter.


What is a UJT?

UJT(UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR) is a three-lead electronic-semiconductor device with only one junction that exclusively as an eletrically controlled swtich andit is not used as a linear amplifier.


What is the difference between the UJT and BJT transistors?

UJT (UniJunction Transistor): It is a transistor with only one junction and three terminals: an emitter (E) and two bases (B1 and B2). BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor): This type of transistor consists of two junctions and three terminals, namely Emitter "E", Base "B" and Collector"C". There are two types of BJT, i) PNP and ii) NPN.


Why ujt called current controlled negative resistance device?

The On/OFF action in UJT is controlled by emitter current


What is an UJT timer?

UJT is an abbreviation for (Unijunction Transistor) the electronic component that is at the heart of a simple timing circuit. A UJT timer is a circuit used in an electonic system to deliver a specific time. For instance, a 30 second UJT timer might be used to turn on a Green traffic signal for 30 seconds, then turn off. UJT is a specifically cheap way of doing this type of timed signal. Timers using UJTs have largely be superseded by timers based on a 555 integrated circuit.


Why is the UJT 2N2646 so called?

Here 2 refers to 2 junctions, N - npn type, 2646 - device id number. Though it have one junction, it has been named to have 2 junctions, as it can act as good transistor


How do you identify the terminals of unijunction transistor?

Usually UJT's come in a metal can package. 1) Hold the UJT downwards (seing its terminals). The one in the middle, near the tab, is the emmiter terminal. With this one "north-wise", the left terminal is B2 (west) and the right terminal (east) is B1.
