Emitter terminal of the bipolar transistor.
Connect to +5 V in the high-side example.
TO-92 pin 1 becomes SOT-23 pin 2.
Base current controls the collector current within the circuit operating region.
Pull down through 4.7 kΩ to turn on; 100 kΩ returns base to emitter.
TO-92 pin 2 becomes SOT-23 pin 1.
Load-current terminal of the transistor.
Feeds the resistor and LED to ground.
Collector remains physical pin 3 in both selected packages.
