NTE1916 Datasheet | NTE Electronics

Description : The NTE1916 is a positive 3- terminal voltage regulator in a TO3 type package suitable for numerous applications requiring up to 1.5A. Current limiting is included to limit peak output current to a safe value. Safe area protection for the output transistor is provided to limit internal power dissipation. If internal power dissipation bees too high for the heat sinking provided, the thermal shutdown circuit takes over limiting die temperature. Although designed primarily as a fixed voltage regulator, the NTE1916 can be used with external ponents to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.
