Silicon NPN Power Transistor
DESCRIPTION
• Collector-Emitter Sustaining Voltage-
: VCEO(SUS) = 450V(Min)
• High Switching Speed
APPLICATIONS
• Designed for high-voltage ,high-speed, power switching in
inductive circuits where fall time is critical. They are partic-
ularly suited for line operated switch-mode applications.
Typical applications:
• Switching regulators
• Inverters
• Motor controls
• Deflection circuits
