NPN 2N3773*, PNP 2N6609
Preferred Device
Complementary Silicon
Power Transistors
The 2N3773 and 2N6609 are PowerBase power transistors
designed for high power audio, disk head positioners and other linear
applications. These devices can also be used in power switching
circuits such as relay or solenoid drivers, DC−DC converters or
inverters.

Temperature Range
Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur.
Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not
normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits
are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur
and reliability may be affected.
