J201 Transistor Explained / Description:
J201 is a general purpose JFET transistor build for amplification purposes. It is manufactured in TO-92 and SOT-23 packages. The transistor is having some good features in its small packages like low cutoff voltage, Very low noise and high gain etc. with these features it can perform very well where there is requirements of more gain with low noise amplification of signals. Moreover due to its low power operating capabilities which are as low as 1.5V it is ideal to use in battery powered circuits.
Where We Can Use it & How to Use:
J201 can be used in variety of low level signal amplification purposes for example if one wants to amplify a low gain signal to high gain with filtration of noise. It can be used in audio preamplifiers, mic preamplifiers and related circuits. Other than that it can also be used in infrared signal detection and amplification.
Applications:
Sensor Circuits
Audio Preamp circuits
Audio Amplifier Stages
Laser Detection & Data Amplifications
Infrared Detection & Data Amplifications
How to Safely Long Run in a Circuit:
For getting long term reliable performance from J201 FET transistor do drive load of more than 50mA, do not increase gate to source voltage from -40V and drain to gate voltage from 40V. And always store and operate the transistor in temperature above -55 centigrade and below +150 centigrade.
