Motorola Bipolar Power Transistor Device Data
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 to dc
converters or inverters.
