The other day I was working on a project in the TechShop in Austin. A recent student of my Arduino Programming class asked me how to make his motor spin. So I started to talk about needing a transistor and they asked the question "what is the BEST transistor?" Since "best" is subjective, I thought maybe I would give a list of the "best transistors" to keep in your parts bin, for any occasion.
So from baldengineer.com, The best 4 transistors to keep in your parts kit.
For the tl;dr, the list is:
- BJT, NPN, 2N3904
- BJT, PNP, 2N3906
- BJT, NPN (Power), TIP120
- MOSFET, N-Channel, FQP30N06L
