NTE2317
Silicon NPN Transistors
High Voltage, Fast Switching Power Darlington

Description:

The NTE2317 is a silicon multiepitaxial bipolar NPN transistor in a monolithic Darlington configuration mounted in a TO218 type package designed for use in automotive ignition applications and inverter circuits for motor controls. Controlled performasnce in the linear region make this device particularly suitable for car ignitions where current limiting is achieved desaturation the Darlington.
