Working Principles

The PB51 transistor operates based on the principles of NPN (Negative-Positive-Negative) bipolar junction transistor. When a small current flows through the base-emitter junction, it controls a larger current flowing between the collector and emitter. This amplification allows the transistor to function as a power amplifier.
