NTE261 (NPN) & NTE262 (PNP) Silicon Complementary Transistors Darlington Power Amplifier

The NTE261 and NTE262 are complementary silicon Darlington transistors designed for power amplification and low-speed switching. They have high current gain, can withstand collector-emitter voltages up to 100V, and have low saturation voltages between 2-4V depending on the current. They are housed in a TO-220 package and can handle continuous collector currents up to 5A and peak currents up to 8A with appropriate cooling.
