Transistors are made up of semiconductor materials with very low power dissipation. Semi conductors are sensitive to high voltages and current and can be easily destroyed.
These devices are commonly used for switching as well as amplifying action.
Recent developments in semiconductor technology have enabled them to be made to withstand higher currents and voltages.
Switch mode power supplies use transistors which work at 300v and many amps.

transistor
Power transistor can conduct large amount of currents through it, more than small signal transistor. power transistor has a vertical structure and small signal transistor has horizontal structure.In power transistor quasi saturation region is present which is absent in the small signal transistor. In power transistor there is a inculsion of drift layer which is not there in the small signal transistor. Power dissipation is less in power transistor and it is more in small signal transistor. b.v.polytechnic,vasai pushkar vaity.
in bc107 transistor b stands for the material i.e,silicon here and c stands for af low power signal
A relay or repeater. EDIT: The bipolar junction transistor
transistor is a current controlled device. as the current flows through the base of the transistor , it works like a close switch.
