NPN
Complementary Silicon
High-Power TVansistors
. .. PowerBase™ complementary transistors designed for high
power audio, stepping motor and other linear applications. These
devices can also be used in power switching circuits such as relay or
solenoid drivers, dc-to-dc converters, inverters, or for inductive loads
requiring higher safe operating area than the 2N3055 and MJ2955.
