BS170 MOSFET Explained / Description:
BS170 is a well-known N channel MOSFET manufactured in TO-92 package. It can be used for both switching and amplification purposes. When used as switch it can drive load of 500mA. It is able to perform fast switching and capable to switch load in around 7 nanoseconds due to which it can be used in high speed circuits. It can also perform well on low voltage due to which it is an ideal MOSFET to use in portable and battery operated applications.
Other than that it can also be used as an amplifier and you can use it in your audio amplifier circuits and also for any general purpose signal amplification requirements.
