DESCRIPTION
The BDW93C is a silicon Epitaxial-Base NPN
power transistor in monolithic Darlington                                       TO-220
configuration mounted in Jedec TO-220 plastic
package. It is intented for use in power linear and
switching applications.
The complementary PNP type is BDW94C.
Also BDW94B is a PNP type.
