NTE243 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The NTE243 is a single NPN Darlington bipolar junction transistor manufactured by NTE Electronics. It is designed for through-hole mounting and comes in a TO-3 package. This transistor offers a high DC current gain (hFE) of 750 minimum at 4A collector current and 3V collector-emitter voltage. It can handle up to 8A of continuous current and has a voltage rating of 80V.

 

The operating temperature range for the NTE243 is -65°C to 200°C (TJ), and it has a power dissipation rating of 100W. The saturation voltage (Vce Sat) is a maximum of 3V at 80mA base current and 8A collector current. This component is suitable for applications requiring high gain and current amplification.

 

It is specified with RoHS3 compliance and a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1. The REACH status is unaffected.
