Most transistors have three leads. This is true even in power transistors which use the external case or housing to connect to the collector, because the circuit which uses the power transistor must still use three wires to connect to it.

Why UJT is called as transistor?

Even though it has only two types of charge carriers we will not call it as a diode but a transistor since it is a three terminal device.


Why transistor is called so?

transistor. This word is a blended form of transfer of resistor. The legs of transistor (collector, emitter,base) transfer the resistance. So it is called as transistor


What are the three main connections in a transistor?

A transistor has three connection points. The connection points are base, emitter, and collector.


Should there be electricity to coil 1999 Maxima?

When the key is turn on there should be 12.5 volts on one wire (there are three wires). There is also a ground wire and a wire from the ECM for the transistor.


What are the three element of transistor?

For a BJT transistor the three basic elements are collector, base and emitter. For a FET transistor are drain, gate and source which are analogous for the BJT parts mentioned before.

On what basis the third terminal of a transistor is given name base?

In the original point contact transistor design, there was a base of semiconductor material at the bottom to which two point contact wires were connected, each point contact wire being very close to the other on the surface of the base. There were three wires, one to each of the point contacts and one to the semiconductor base. The two point contacts were called the collector and emitter, and the base was called - logically, being at the bottom - the base.We tend to show the base as being between the collector and emitter, but in actuality the collector and emitter were added on top of the base.Although all modern bipolar transistors are junction transistors, the standard bipolar transistor symbol is actually a point contact transistor symbol, although the base may be drawn on any side not just the bottom.
