2N5069 Transistor Data
Key transistor data for the 2N3773 NPN power transistor including key electrical parameters, pinout, package type and many other key transistor datasheet details.
The 2N3773 is an NPN power transistor designed to be used for high power audio, disk head positioners and other linear applications and circuits.
The device can also be used in power switching circuits where its high power capability comes into its own.
These power switching applications may include relay or solenoid drivers, DC-DC converters and inverters.
