In case of a bipolar junction transistor, we have only three terminals (legs). They are emitter, base and collector.

But, in case of a MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor), we can have four legs. They are source, drain, gate and substrate. The substrate is not being shown in some notations of MOSFET. But it does exist. Hence, a MOSFET has four legs.

What 4 electronic devices contain transistors?

Transistors are fundamental components in many electronic devices. Four common devices that contain transistors are smartphones, laptops, televisions, and radios. These devices utilize transistors for functions such as signal amplification, switching, and processing information, making them essential for modern electronics.


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).


Where can I find output transistors to repair and amplifier?

You need to know the specifications for the transistors and search for them on the internet.


Why do transistors sometimes need heatsinks?

These types of transistors are power transistors and generate heat. The heat sink is used to dissipate the heat. If the transistor gets too hot it will fail.


Can you see transistors?

Basically, in transistor, the signal is transferred from low resistance circuit to the high resistance circuit. So it is called transfer+resistor=Transistor.Transistors are widely used in different types of switching, amplifiers, oscillators and integrated circuits.Based on the applications, the types of the transistors are as given below:General purpose transistors, Low frequency transistors, High frequency transistors, Power transistors, Switching transistors, Field Effect Transistors, MOSFET, Uni-junction Transistors, Bi junction transistors, Photo transistor, High power transistors, Complementary pair, Darlington amplifier, Video and R.F. amplifier, Ultrahigh frequency and microwave, Insulated gate bipolar transistors, Static induction transistors.More their to know about transistors are as given below:History of invention, Time-line throughout, Basic construction, Bias arrangement, working, Various currents in transistors, Basic transistor amplifier, Configurations, Characteristics, Current gain and relation among them, D.C. load line, Operating point, Biasing of transistor, stability factor, specifications and ratings, testing, colour coding, identification of transistor using multimeter, h-parameter of transistor, particular applications etc...
