NTE384
Silicon NPN Transistor
High Voltage Power Amp/Switch
Description:
The NTE384 is a multiple epitaxial silicon NPN power transistor in a TO66 type package utilizing a
multiple–emitter site structure. Multiple–epitaxial construction maximizes the volt–ampere characteristic of the device and provides fast switching speeds. Multiple–emitter design ensures uniform current flow throughout the structure, which produces a high IS/b and a large safe–operation–area.
The NTE384 is characterized for use in inverters operating directly from a rectified 110V power line.
The leakage current is specified at 450V; therefore the device can also be used in a series bridge
configuration on a 220V line. The VEBO rating of 9V eases requirements on the drive transformer in
inverter applications.
