Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) is a type of semiconductor device, which acts as an amplified switch. A BJT can be used to create a wide range of products from signal amplification devices to power amplifiers. 2N4401 is one of the most common BJT, which has wide range of application and is also cost-effective. Its moderate gain bandwidth, low noise and low-off isolation, makes it an ideal choice for many applications. In this article, we are going to discuss about the application field and working principle of 2N4401,116 BJT.

Application Field:

2N4401,116 is a low frequency small signal transistor, generally used as small RF amplifier in radio, television, communication and other apparatus. This transistor is also used as an audio frequency preamplifier, MOD amplifier and oscillator. It is also used as a switching device in logic and low power amplifiers, which helps to increase the current gain.

The low noise, ruggedness, and good gain make it suitable for use in industrial, scientific and instrumentation applications. 2N4401,116 is also used in spacecrafts, power converters and power supplies, amplifiers and other signal conditioning applications.

Working Principle:

2N4401,116 is a PNP type bipolar junction transistor, which has three terminals, namely Base, Collector and Emitter. The operation of the transistor depends on the movement of mobile electrons and holes between the base and collector regions. When a small current is applied to the base, the voltage drop across the base-emitter junction will create an electric field in the base layer, which controls the number of electrons and holes injected from the emitter and collector regions.

The mobility and temperature of the electron and hole transport are determined by the material used in the transistor. The BJT consists of a base and a collector region separated by a thin n-type silicon layer, called the base-collector junction. This junction acts as a valve, controlling the flow of electrons between the emitter and collector. The base and collector regions are further divided into three regions, namely the P-type boron diffusion, the n-type boron diffusion and the N-type layer.

The current flowing through the collector-base junction is inversely proportional to the voltage applied across the base-collector junction. Therefore, by controlling the base current, we can control the collector current. The current gain of the transistor is given by the ratio of the collector current to the base current. The gain is also affected by temperature and the frequency of the base current.

The 2N4401,116 BJT is designed for use at low frequencies from 10kHz to 1MHz. It has a high transition frequency of 180MHz, which makes it suitable for low frequency applications. The reverse current breakdown voltage is also relatively low, thus making it suitable for low voltage applications. The DC current gain is typically 150 at Ic = 4.0mA and Vce = 1.5v.

2N4401,116 BJT is a relatively simple electronic device, which has been widely used in various applications. Its moderate gain bandwidth, low noise and low-off isolation make it ideal for signal amplification, power amplification and switching. As a result, it has become one of the most popular BJTs in the market today.
