NSS12201L: Low VCE(sat) Transistor, NPN, 12 V, 4.0 A

Product Description
Typical applications are DC-DC converters and power management in portable and battery powered products such as cellular and cordless phones, PDAs, computers, printers, digital cameras and MP3 players. Other applications are low voltage motor controls in mass storage products such as disc drives and tape drives. In the automotive industry they can be used in air bag deployment and in the instrument cluster. The high current gain allows e2PowerEdge devices to be driven directly from PMU's control outputs, and the Linear Gain (Beta) makes them ideal components in analog amplifiers.
