Unipolar transistors (MOSFET)

Types of unipolar transistors and their main parameters 

MOSFET unipolar transistors consist of five basic elements, which are responsible for their effectiveness and efficiency. These include: isolator, Gate G, Drain D, Substrate B and Source S. Most of the available transistors are characterized by the substrate dense with the source and thus have three outputs. MOSFET unipolar transistors can be divided into two basic types - transistors with P channel and N channel. Differences between them can be observed in their construction as well as their purpose and application. The most popular is a transistor with an enriched channel, which is characterized by the voltage applied between the source and the channel gate. The drain located in it makes that when the transistor is switched off, no current flows. Such a solution can be used in virtually any device or machine and will act as a voltage-controlled switch. 

In MOSFET unipolar transistors one of the most important parameters is the open channel resistance. This is the state when the transistor acts as a resistor. It is worth noting that the smaller the resistance, the smaller the power loss. It is also important to pay attention to the maximum gate-source voltage. This is a value that cannot be exceeded. Otherwise there is a high risk of damaging the transistor. Furthermore, among the key parameters of unipolar transistors are maximum power loss and maximum drain current. In Botland store you can choose from many solutions, which you can successfully adjust to the specifics of your project and your own expectations. 

Usage of MOSFET unipolar transistors 

MOSFET unipolar transistors can have different applications, but most often they act as voltage controlled switches. They are great in this role, because they are distinguished by low open channel resistance and lack of current consumption by the gate. Bipolar transistors are used wherever the system is powered by low voltage. In case of unipolar transistors, the area of their use is the load control system, where current is drawn at the level of amps.
