Transistor bit (9)

I believe the answer is:

electrode

(Other definitions for electrode that I've seen before include "Connecting conductor" , "Conducting point by which electric current enters or leaves" , "Conducting contact" , "Conductor by which current enters" , "Terminal of, eg, an acid battery" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
