All Types of Transistor Symbol and Diagram



A transistor is an electronic semiconductor device. Its main function is to switch or amplify electronic signals. The transistor is a very useful active electronic component and is used in all digital electronic circuits as well as some analog electronic circuits. The transistor is a three-terminal device and it requires an external voltage or biasing for its operation. According to construction, operation, working principle, and applications, there are so many different types of transistors available.

Here, you can see the list of different types of Transistor,

N-Channel JFET Symbol


Field Effect Transistor or FET is a voltage control device. This means when a voltage is applied to its gate terminal it starts conducting current. There are two types of Field Effect transistors - JFET and MOSFET.
In an N-channel JFET electrons is the charge carrier. Here, you can see the symbol of N-Channel JFET.

MOSFET Symbol


MOSFET or Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor is mainly designed for fast switching and high current carrying features. It has a metal oxide layer. There are mainly two types of MOSFET - Depletion Type MOSFET and Enhancement Type MOSFET.

Depletion Type MOSFET has two types - Depletion type N-Channel MOSFET and Depletion type P-Channel MOSFET


Symbol of Depletion mode N-Channel MOSFET


N Channel depletion Type MOSFET Symbol



Symbol of Depletion mode P-Channel MOSFET


P Channel depletion Type MOSFET Symbol




Enhancement Type MOSFET has two types - Enhancement Type N-channel MOSFET and Enhancement Type P-Channel MOSFET


Symbol of Enhancement Type N-channel MOSFET


N Channel enhancement Type MOSFET Symbol



Symbol of Enhancement Type P-channel MOSFET


P Channel enhancement Type MOSFET Symbol






Symbol of NPN Darlington Transistor


Darlington transistor is made of two bipolar junction transistors. But is it acts as a single transistor. It also has only one base terminal, one emitter terminal, and one collector terminal. There are two types of Darlington transistor - NPN Darlington Transistor and PNP Darlington Transistor. The main difference between a Darlington transistor and a normal bipolar junction transistor is, Darlington transistor provides a very high current gain over a normal transistor.
