NTE256
Silicon NPN Transistor
w
Darlington
Description:
The NTE256 is a silicon epitaxial planer NPN Darlington transistor in a TO218 type package with an
integrated Base–Emitter speed–up diode. This device is particularly suitable for use as an output
stage in high power, fast switching applications.
