Description
APEC MOSFET provide the power designer with the best combination of fast
switching , lower on-resistance and reasonable cost.
The TO-220 and package is universally preferred for all commercial-industrial
applications. The device is suited for switch mode power supplies ,DC-AC
converters and high current high speed switching circuits.
