HIGH-VOLTAGE, HIGH CURRENT SWITCH
DESCRIPTIO N
The 2N4014is a silicon planar epitaxialtransistor in
TO-18metalcase.It is a high-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 storagetime.
