So in small applications and small projects like in the link you mentioned, the load would never draw more than 100 mA so a cheap BC547 would be a better option than a MOSFET which is capable of handling more than couple of amperes (general case), but it is more costly.

It’s a simple hookup and sketch and it illustrates how simple it is to control a load with a transistor and an Arduino. https://www.amazon.com/IRF520-MOSFET-Driver-Arduino-Raspberry/dp/B07Z8BB26N/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=IRF520&qid=1584507827&s=industrial&sr=1-9 This switches the transistor on and off, powering our motor. This may not matter much if you're not designing a lot of circuits, or if competition for your product is so fierce that any little edge in specifications or cost is critical, but otherwise, being able to re-use parts, and thus having fewer parts you need to stock/source/keep datasheets for, can save time, effort, and money compared to having unique best parts for each case. A BJT is current driven, that is to say that it is switched on when current flows between the base and emitter. Thanks for contributing an answer to Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange! Overheating a bipolar transistor turns it on, not so with a MOSFET, or not as easily. Today we will learn to use these components to extend the current-driving capability of our Arduino designs. All we do in the Setup is to define our transistor connection as an output. I’m working on an arduino project that requires both a 12V DC motor and 12V DC solenoid. You have a very well organized and beautiful workshop. In addition BJT's can make excellent and cheap constant current sources, making a simple but precise constant current source for sensitive current controlled devices like LED's. This switches the transistor on and off, powering our motor. You gave the circuit so it wouldn’t be too hard to recreate it. A "two stage" darlington type that amplifies something just a moderate 10X and then followed yet another 10X (effective is the same big 100X) will have lower noise. Any inductor, as in motors and relays, will store a flux across the coil, and a change in operation will cause a large voltage flyback.

I am looking at a site on Amazon that shows 10 of these IRF520s at: You may also add code samples, images and videos to your forum posts. The FET voltage drop goes up linearly with current. Note the diode across the motor leads, I used an IN4004 rectifier diode, which is a very common device. There are other ways to start with a high impedance signal and provide enough current to drive a single BJT switching element. In these cases, the driver board did all of the heavy lifting for us.

The most common method of protecting from reverse EMF damage is to use a diode, wired in the “opposite” polarity. Thanks. Once again I’m using a 6-volt battery to power the experiments high-current side, and we’re using a 2.2k resistor to limit the current into the transistor base. Also, FETs that have to withstand higher voltages have higher Rdson, so BJTs look like a better deal at higher currents and voltages. At a few amps and 10s of volts, FETs are more efficient since the current times the Rdson is less than the 200 mV or so of even a well-satured BJT. 3) While BJT's are great at amplifying small signals with low distortion, and precisely controlling high currents, BJT's make for poor switches however because even if saturated, they still have Vce voltage drops over 2V, this means significant power dissipation at high currents, which means significant heat production.
