2N3055H
15A Power Transistors
Page 1 31/05/05 V1.0
Features:
••The 2N3055H is a Silicon power base transistor for high power audio, series-
pass power supplies, disk-head positioners and other linear application. These
devices can also be used in power switching circuits such as converters or
inverters.
••Higher safe operating area than 2N3055 at VCE >40V.
••Low saturation voltages.
••High power dissipation capability.
