Discreet transistors provide the switching and amplification needed for robotics and automation projects. They let microcontrollers drive motors, solenoids, or indicators, and form the backbone of sensor amplifiers and signal conditioning stages. You’ll find both NPN and PNP types, including higher‑gain Darlingtons for easier interface to heavier loads, plus kits and packs that make prototyping convenient.
Typical attributes include how much current and voltage they can handle, how much gain they offer, packaging style, and whether they suit through‑hole boards or compact surface‑mount assemblies. The right choice depends on how you plan to integrate them with power rails, logic levels, and other components in the system, along with reliability and ease of replacement on the bench or in a production build.
