SK Series
The SK5538 is a part of the RCA SK Series of power transistors. It is a NPN Silicon type transistor with the main function of providing an amplified output for the current flow between its collector and emitter. This product is characterized by its high breakdown voltages, low current gains, and high operating temperature. It is packaged in a TO-92 style package with three pins and operates at a maximum power rating of 500 mW. It is also useful in a variety of applications such as motor control, drivers, power amphifiers, and switching systems.
