NTE291 (NPN) & NTE292 (PNP)
Silicon Complementary Transistors
Medium Power Amp, Switch
Description:
The NTE291 (NPN) and NTE292 (PNP) are General–Purpose Medium–Power silicon complementa-
ry transistors in a TO220 type package designed for switching and amplifier applications. They are
especially designed for series and shunt regulators and as a driver and output stage of high–fidelity
amplifiers.
