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 character-
istic of the device and provides fast switching speeds. Multiple–emitter design ensures uniform cur-
rent flow throughout the structure, which produces a high I
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 V
