ZXTN4004KTC Discrete Semiconductor Products

The ZXTN4004KTC is a common single NPN transistor used for a variety of electronic applications. The device is part of the family of bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) which are capable of switching or amplifier operation. They are formed from two p-type semiconductor materials and one n-type material and work on the following principle.

When current passes through the base to the emitter, the electrons in the n-type material of the emitter region are attracted to the base. This causes them to enter the p-type material at the base. As the base has an electric charge, a potential barrier is created between the base and emitter. This barrier prevents an excessive number of electrons from entering the base and becoming part of the collector current.

When electrons enter the base, they are collected by the collector when current flows through it. This collector current then flows to the emitter where the excess electrons are released. This process is known as recombination and is the most common way transistors work in switching and amplifier applications.

The ZXTN4004KTC is a common single NPN transistor used in a variety of electronic applications. The device is mainly used as switches in logic circuits, as they are able to control logic levels using only a single collector current. The device is also used in amplifiers where a larger current can be produced by varying the collector current. The ZXTN4004KTC is also used as an oscillator due to its fast switching capabilities. The device can produce a sine wave or square wave signal depending on the application.

In order for the ZXTN4004KTC to operate correctly, its input voltage must be greater than its rated value of 0.5V. The maximum recommended collector current is 1A, the minimum recommended base current is 5mA and the maximum recommended power dissipation is 800mW. As the device has a higher maximum collector current than other devices, it can be used in circuits which require more current than what other transistors can provide.

The ZXTN4004KTC is a versatile single NPN transistor which can be used in a variety of applications. Its fast switching capabilities make it suitable for use in logic circuits and amplifiers, while its high maximum collector current make it suitable for use in circuits which require more current than what is typically provided by other transistor devices.
