D2394 transistor package

The D2394 POWER transistor had a TO-220 package, it is a power device package mainly used for medium power applications.

The TO-220 device package had two portions front end and the back end, the front portion is made with a mixture of plastic and epoxy material and the back portion is made with metal material for attaching a heat sink with it.

The TO-220 is a through-hole device used to withstand higher power values, this is why the D2394 transistor had the bulkier package.
