How to use NPN and PNP transistors?

[level]

Hi
Pls tell me how to use (information) NPN and PNP transistor??
=> how to measure PNP or NPN?
=> how to calculation?

Thanks!!!

Re: NPN and PNP question

Hi,

You can detect if a given transistor is a NPN or a PNP with the help of a digital multimeter in Diode mode. A NPN transistor will have a diode between its base and its emitter with its anode at the base and a PNP transistor will have the same diode but with its cathode at the base.

However the calculation and the use of these transistor completely depends on what you want to do.

Good luck,

NPN and PNP question

Best method is Transistor tester.
You can get Beta, Vbe, Iss and so on

Re: NPN and PNP question

Best method is to know the part no and look in the manual
