Description
This is – 40V, -200mA, PNP Transistor.
In a PNP transistor, the current flows from the collector to the emitter. To turn on the transistor, a small current is applied to the base, which allows a larger current to flow from the emitter to the collector. The base region of a PNP transistor is doped with a material that has more electrons than the emitter or collector regions.
The 2N3906 is a PNP transistor used in circuits that require a negative voltage bias, while the 2N3904 is an NPN transistor used in circuits that require a positive voltage bias. Both transistors are commonly used in low-power switching and amplification applications, but the choice between them depends on the polarity requirements of the circuit.
