Transistor S8050 NPN, 0.7A TO-92
S8050 NPN Transistor - High Current Switching & Push-Pull Audio
The S8050 is a low-voltage, high-current NPN silicon transistor in a TO-92 package, widely used for small-signal amplification and switching. Its relatively high collector current rating compared to other TO-92 parts makes it a favorite for driving relays, small motors, LED strips and Class-B push-pull audio output stages.
Functions & Applications
- High Collector Current (0.7A): Handles heavier loads than typical small-signal transistors like BC547.
- High DC Current Gain (hFE up to 400): Efficient amplification of weak signals with minimal base drive.
- Standard TO-92 Package: Through-hole, easy to solder on breadboards and prototyping boards.
- Complementary Pair Available: Pairs directly with the PNP S8550 for push-pull audio and H-bridge designs.
- MCU Compatible: Works with 3.3V/5V logic from Arduino, ESP32 and similar boards for switching duties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the complementary PNP transistor for the S8050?
A: The complementary PNP part is the S8550, commonly used together in Class-B push-pull amplifier and H-bridge configurations.
Q: How much current can the S8050 switch?
A: The S8050 can switch up to 700mA (0.7A) continuous collector current, enough for small relays, DC motors, and LED arrays, provided the base current is kept around 5mA to fully saturate the transistor.
Note: Price refers to one (1) piece. The component is shipped in bulk without individual packaging.
