    Transistors

    Amplify or control electric signals. Transistors are often used to boost weak electrical signals or as switches to rapidly control data transmission and computing signals. The transistor's leads are ordered from left to right with the flat side facing you. The incoming current you intend to control is sent to the emitter (E) for NPN transistors or the collector (C) for PNP transistors. The base (B) controls how much current flows through the transistor. Then current is output to your application through the collector pin for NPN transistors or the emitter pin for PNP transistors.
    When you send current to the base, you can control the current flow between the collector and emitter leads.

    NPN Signal Output—NPN transistors use positive current and voltage at the base to control current flowing from the collector to the emitter.
    PNP Signal Output—PNP transistors use negative current and voltage at the base to control current flowing from the emitter to the collector.
    Maximum Current Gain—Maximum current gain is the highest multiplication factor the transistor can boost the current.

    Electronic Component Assortments

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Electronic Component Assortments.
    Keep a variety of electronic components on hand for building and repairing circuits. These assortments include both through-hole and surface-mount components. Through-hole components have wire leads to push through holes in a circuit board. Solder them in place and clip off the excess wire. Surface-mount components are often installed with automated equipment. Solder them directly to your circuit board.
