DESCRIPTION
The BFX34 is a silicon epitaxial planar NPN
transistor in Jedec TO-39 metal case, intented for
high current applications.
Very low saturation voltage and high speed at
high current levels make it ideal for power drivers,
power amplifiers, switching power supplies and
relay drivers inverters.
