2N6107 Transistor Explained / Description:

2N6107 is a TO-220 package PNP transistor manufacture for general purpose applications. It is a transistor of a series which also contains other two transistors which are 2N6109 and 2n6111. A good thing is that these transistors also has their complimentary transistors available.

Looking at the pin configuration of the transistor the first pin is base, second is collector and the 3^rd pin is emitter.

The absolute maximum ratings of the transistor are as follows: collector-emitter voltage is 70V, continuous collector current is -7A, collector-base voltage is -80V, base current is 3A, total power dissipation is 40W, operating and storage junction temperature is from -65°C to 150°

 

How to Use This Transistor:

As mentioned above it is a general purpose transistor and can be used in variety of switching and amplifier applications but it is not limited to only use in these applications and can also be used in variety of other general purpose applications.

To use the transistor as a switch connect its emitter pin with the positive rail of the circuit, apply signal to its base through a suitable resistor and drive load between the collector and the negative rail of the circuit.

To use it as an amplifier connect its emitter pin with the positive rail of the circuit, apply signal to its base through a suitable electrolytic capacitor and the amplified signal will be received at its collector pin and from there you can further process this signal or connect a speaker between collector and the negative rail of the circuit.

 

Applications:

Switching Circuit

Power Amplifiers

Motor Drivers

Power Supply circuit.

 

Safe Operating Guidelines:

To safely operate the transistor follow these guidelines:

• To get long term performance, operate the transistor at least 20% below from its absolute maximum ratings.
• So according to the above mentioned guidelines the maximum collector-emitter voltage is -70V but we will not use more than -56V.
• The maximum collector current is -7A but we will drive the load of more 5.6A
• Check pinout before using in the circuit.
• Always maintain the temperature of the transistor between -65°C to 150°C.
