NTE1918 Datasheet | NTE Electronics

Description : The NTE1918 is a positive 3- terminal voltage regulator in a TO3 type package capable of driving loads in excess of 3A. This device employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe- area pensation. Although designed primarily as a fixed voltage regulator, the NTE1918 can be used with external ponents to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.
