What is a Power Transistor?


Power Transistor definition


The utility model relates to a bipolar junction transistor that can withstand high voltage and high current


Power Transistor  structure composition


  • Three-layer semiconductor

  • Two PN junctions


How Power Transistor  work


In power electronics technology, GTR mainly works in the on-off state. GTR usually operates at positive bias (Ib>0) with large current conduction; Reverse bias (Ib<0) is in the cutoff state. Therefore, a sufficiently large pulse drive signal is applied to the base of the GTR, and it will work in the on-off and off-switch states.


Main parameters of Power Transistor 


  • Maximum operating voltage

  • Maximum allowable collector current

  • Maximum allowable collector dissipation power

  • Maximum working junction temperature


Basic characteristics of Power Transistor 


  • Static characteristic

  • Dynamic characteristic



Power Transistor  advantages


  • Device maturation

  • Low switching loss

  • Short switching time


Power Transistor  defect


  • High driving current

  • Poor inrush current resistance

  • Susceptible to damage by secondary breakdown
