## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA756:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA756:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Transistors are powerful little electronic switches, and Adafruit really like these NPN transistors whenever Adafruit need to control medium-power electronics such as small motors, solenoids, or IR LEDs. Adafruit find them so handy, they come in a pack of 10!
 
 Each transistor is a general purpose amplifier, model PN2222 (same pinout as the 2N3904) and has a standard **EBC** pinout. They can switch up to 40V at peak currents of 1A (not continuously, just peak!), with a DC gain of about 100. They're basically your garden-variety NPN, and do the job with class!
