(version”R”)
using High Voltage Multi Epitaxial Planar
technology for high switching speeds and high
voltage capacity. They use a Cellular Emitter
structurewith planar edge terminationto enhance
switching speeds while maintaining a wide

RBSOA.
The BUF series is designed for use in
high-frequency power supplies and motor control
applications.
For TO-3 :
