bs170 pinout

The BS170 is a small signal N-channel MOSFET transistor designed for general-purpose amplifier and switching applications. It is housed in a TO-92 package, making it suitable for a wide range of electronic projects and applications. With a maximum drain-source voltage of 60V and a continuous drain current of 0.5A, the BS170 is capable of handling a variety of low-power circuit requirements. Its low input and output capacitance also make it an ideal choice for high frequency and fast switching applications. The pinout of the BS170 consists of three pins, with the gate (G) pin connected to the control signal or input, the drain (D) pin connected to the load or output, and the source (S) pin connected to the ground or common reference. Overall, the BS170 MOSFET offers a compact and versatile solution for amplification and switching needs in electronic circuits, making it a popular choice among hobbyists, students, and electronics professionals.
