2N3906 PNP Transistor

2N3906 PNP Transistor has a gain value of 110 to 300, this value determines the amplification capacity of the transistor. The maximum amount of current that could flow through the Collector pin is 200mA, hence we cannot connect loads that consume more than 200mA using this transistor. To bias a transistor we have to supply current to the base pin, this current (IB) should be limited to 5mA.

2N3906 PNP transistor hence the collector and emitter will be closed (Forward biased) when the base pin is held at the ground and will be opened (Reverse biased) when a signal is provided to the base pin.
