HIGH VOLTAGE, HIGH CURRENT SWITCH
DESCRIPT I ON
The 2N3725 is a silicon planar epitaxial transistor
inTO-39metalcase Itisahigh-voltage, high current
switch used for memory applications requiring
breakdown voltages up to 50 V and operating currents to 1 A. Fast switching times are assured because of the high minimum fT(300 MHz) and tight
controlon storage time.
