BC 547

The BC547 transistor is an NPN bipolar junction transistor that can be used as switches and amplifiers when combined with other electronic components like resistors, coils, and capacitors. It has an emitter, base, and collector terminal, with current flowing from the base to emitter controlling the collector current. Transistors are designed and manufactured to have predefined characteristics, with the NPN transistor containing an excess of electrons in the N-type material and a lack of electrons in the P-type material. The BC547 comes in a single package, while multiple transistors can be placed in an array commonly used for digital switching.

A BC547 transistor is a negative-positive-negative (NPN) transistor that is used for many purposes.

Together with other electronic components, such as resistors , coils, and capacitors, the BC547 transistor can be used as the active componen t for switches and amplifiers. Like all other NPN transistors, the BC547 transis tor has an emitter terminal, a base or control terminal, and a collector termina l. In a typical configuration, the current flowing from the base to the emitter of the BC547 transistor controls the collector current. A short vertical line, w hich is the base, can indicate the transistor schematic for an NPN transistor, a nd the emitter, which is a diagonal line connecting to the base, is an arrowhead pointing away from the base. There are various types of transistors. The BC547 transistor is a bipolar juncti on transistor (BJT). There are also transistors that have one junction, such as the junction field-effect transistor, or no junctions at all, such as the metal oxide field-effect transistor (MOSFET). During the design and manufacture of tra nsistors, the transistor characteristics can be predefined and achieved. The neg ative (N)-type material inside an NPN transistor has an excess of electrons, whi le the positive (P)-type material has a lack of electrons, both due to a contami nation process called doping.

The BC547 transistor comes in one package. When several transistors are placed i n a single package, it is usually referred to as a transistor array. Transistor arrays are commonly used in digital switching. For instance, eight transistors m ay be placed in one package to make layout much easier. To make use of a transistor as an audio preamplifier, a direct current (DC) sour ce is needed, such as a 12-volt (V) power supply. In a common emitter configurat ion, the negative side of the power supply is alternating current (AC)-coupled t o the emitter via a capacitor. There is also a small resistance connecting the p ower supply to the emitter of the transistor. The power supply is then connected to the collector via a resistor, which may be referred to as a limiting resisto r. When the collector-to-emitter current flows there will be a voltage drop in t he limiting resistor, and in the idle state, the collector voltage is typically 6 V. Transistor circuit design requires a thorough understanding of current-voltage r atings of various components, such as transistors and resistors. One goal is to keep the components from burning up. Another goal is to make the circuit work. S aving electricity is another goal, such as in the case of battery-operated devic es.
