RCA-431 is an epitaxial silicon n-p-n power transistor utilizing a multiple-emitter-site structure. This device employs the popular JEDEC TO-3 package.
Featuring high breakdown-voltage ratings and low saturation-
voltage values, the RCA-431 is especially suitable for use in inverters, deflection circuits, switching regulators, highvoltage bridge amplifiers, ignition circuits, and other highvoltage switching applications.
