2N3773
NPN Power Transistors
The 2N3773 is a PowerBaset power transistor designed for high
power audio, disk head positioners and other linear applications. This
device can also be used in power switching circuits such as relay or
solenoid drivers, DC−DC converters or inverters.
Features
• High Safe Operating Area (100% Tested) 150 W @ 100 V
• Completely Characterized for Linear Operation
• High DC Current Gain and Low Saturation Voltage
hFE = 15 (Min) @ 8.0 A, 4.0 V
VCE(sat) = 1.4 V (Max) @ IC = 8.0 A, IB = 0.8 A
• For Low Distortion Complementary Designs
• This is a Pb−Free Device
