The 2N5551 is an NPN amplifier Transistor with an amplification factor (hfe) of 80 when the collector current is 10mA.
Collector-Emitter voltage (VCE) is 160 V.
Continuous Collector current (IC) is 600mA.
High DC Current Gain (hFE), typically 80 when IC=10mA.
Current Drains out through emitter, normally connected to groundĬontrols the biasing of transistor, Used to turn ON or OFF the transistorĬurrent flows in through collector, normally connected to load
