Applications:
Switching Regulators
High frequency inverter
Battery Management Systems
PWM Circuits
Switching Regulators
Audio Amplifier Stages
DC to DC Converters
Ultrasonic Generators
Inductive Load switching
Switching load of up to 15A
Safe Operating Guidelines:
Here are some important guidelines to safely operate the transistor.
- Do not use the transistor to its absolute maximum ratings and always stay 20% below from these ratings.
- Always use a suitable heatsink with the transistor.
- Always Store and operate at temperature above -65°C and under +150°C.
