FET Types, Working Principle, Applications, and Selection Guide","field-effect-transistor-fet","A Field Effect Transistor, commonly called a FET, is a voltage-controlled semiconductor device that uses an electric field to control current flow between two terminals called the source and drain. Unlike bipolar junction transistors, which require input current at the base, FETs are controlled mainly by voltage at the gate terminal. This gives FETs high input impedance, low control power, and strong advantages in switching, amplification, power management, RF circuits, sensor interfaces, and modern integrated circuits.","\u002Fprofile\u002Fupload\u002Fblog\u002F2026\u002F06\u002F14\u002Ffield-effect-transistor-fet-cover.webp","2026-06-28T12:59:46.000+08:00",{"createBy":15,"createTime":15,"updateBy":15,"updateTime":15,"remark":15,"id":39,"name":100,"slug":101,"orderNum":15,"delFlag":15},{"createBy":15,"createTime":15,"updateBy":15,"updateTime":15,"remark":15,"id":39,"name":155,"avatar":156,"role":15,"expertise":15,"intro":15,"facebook":15,"youtube":15,"linkedin":15,"twitter":15,"delFlag":15},{"id":166,"title":167,"slug":168,"summary":169,"content":15,"coverImage":170,"category":15,"tags":15,"author":91,"viewCount":171,"isPublished":93,"isTop":94,"seoTitle":15,"seoDesc":15,"seoKeywords":15,"faqJson":15,"publishTime":172,"categoryId":39,"authorId":55,"articleCategory":173,"articleAuthor":174,"delFlag":15,"createBy":15,"createTime":172,"updateBy":15,"updateTime":15,"productCategoryIds":15,"manufacturerIds":15,"applicationIds":15},24,"Thermal Resistance Explained: thetaJA, thetaJC, psiJT, Power Dissipation, and Derating","thermal-resistance-theta-ja-theta-jc-psijt-power-dissipation","Thermal resistance metrics such as thetaJA, thetaJC, and psiJT help estimate semiconductor junction temperature, but each metric has a different purpose. thetaJA is useful for standardized package comparison, thetaJC applies to controlled case or heat-sink paths, and psiJT is often used with measured package-top temperature.
