What Does FET Stand For?

FET stands for Field Effect Transistor

FET, or Field Effect Transistor, is a type of semiconductor device that controls the flow of electrical current using an electric field. Unlike bipolar junction transistors, FETs operate by a voltage applied to the gate terminal, which regulates the current flowing between the source and drain terminals. They are widely used in various electronic applications, including amplifiers, switches, and signal modulation, due to their high input impedance and efficient power consumption.
