Connecting Two or More Transistors in Parallel
How to Connect two or more transistors in parallel While making power electronic circuits, configuring the power output stage correctly becomes very crucial. These stages primarily may consist of power devices like the power transistors or MOSFETs. Using power transistors are more common due to the greater ease of configuring them. However when higher outputs are desired, it becomes necessary to add more number of these devices together. And as per the rules, it becomes necessary to connect them in parallel. Though using transistors in electronic circuits is pretty easy, connecting them in parallel needs some attention due to the one significant drawback with transistor characteristics. As per transistor specs, the devices needs to be operated under reasonably cooler conditions and that's why we install heatsinks on them to maintain the above criterion. Moreover, transistors have the "bad habit" of conducting proportionately rising currents through them as they get heate...
