2N6056 NPN Darlington Power Transistor – Datasheet

The 2N6056 NPN Darlington silicon power transistor is designed for general−purpose amplifier and low frequency switching applications.

What is Darlington Transistor?

A Darlington transistor is also known as a Darlington pair is an electronics component made via the combination of two PNP or NPN BJTs (Bipolar Junction Transistor) connected in such a way that it allows a very high amount of current gain. Darlington pair is simply used in many applications where switching or amplification is crucial.
