2N3055A/D
2N3055A (NPN)
MJ15015, MJ15016 (PNP)
MJ15015 and MJ15016 are Preferred Devices
Complementary Silicon
HighPower Transistors
These PowerBase complementary transistors are designed for
high power audio, stepping motor and other linear applications. These
devices can also be used in power switching circuits such as relay or
solenoid drivers, dctodc converters, inverters, or for inductive loads
requiring higher safe operating area than the 2N3055.

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur.
Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not
normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are
exceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur and
reliability may be affected.
