Introduction to 2N3053 Transistor

Hello, readers welcome to the new post. In this tutorial, we will discuss Introduction to 2N3053 Transistor. NPN Transistor is a type of transistor that consists of two N regions and one P region between two N. Transistors is considered a very basic part of any project that consists of an amplifier module.

In this post, we will discuss Introduction to 2N3053 Transistor pinouts working and some other features with detail. So let get started.

Table of Contents

It is used as a general-purpose transistor that is mostly configured in switching and amplifier circuits.

Its configuration is such that if there is no supply linked to it zero current flow through emitter to base
If supply is linked then current flows that condition now transistor is working
Its gain value is about fifty
Value of base current given to it is about fifteen milliampere
The value of current for collector and emitter should be less than seven milliamperes larger than this can harm this module
Silicon and germanium are normally used for transistor creation this device is created with silicon
Its casing is To-39 metallic that help to used in amplifiers and switching circuits

Its NPN configuration helps to collector and emitter in the off state when no power is applied. When positive volts is given too this module base transistor has a small current at the base to the emitter and transistor in on state.
The highest gain of transistors is about fifty which finds the amplification fact of devices.

2N3053 Transistor Pinout

Base: it used to control the transistor-like tap

Emitter: send the current to pn junction
Collector: Get the current coming from the emitter

2N3053 Transistor Features

Its main features are listed here
The value of collector capacitance is fifteen pico farad almost
Dissipation at the collector is five-watt
Base current is fifteen milliampere
collector current seven milliampere
Dc gain is fifty
Its nature is NPN
The volt between the collector and base is eighty volts.

Importance of the NPN Transistor

Without a transistor, regardless of its power, there is no power. Without power, it is impossible to manufacture electronic devices such as computers, televisions and telephones.
However, all electronic devices require a transistor to function. And in a laptop, for example, the biggest consumer is usually the processor, which is really a small tube amplifier. In other words, without a power supply, a huge amount of current is needed to run a computer or television.

The additional power consumption caused by the processor does not occur until the power is connected to the computer or TV.
The huge current requirements at very high speeds in this case mean the need to constantly turn the processor on and off, which of course results in huge power consumption.
