2N3055AG (NPN),
MJ15015G (NPN),
MJ15016G (PNP)
Complementary Silicon
High-Power 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, dc−to−dc converters, inverters, or for inductive loads
requiring higher safe operating area than the 2N3055.
Features
• High Current−Gain − Bandwidth
• Safe Operating Area
• These Devices are Pb−Free and are RoHS Compliant*

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum
Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the Recommended
Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the
Recommended Operating Conditions may affect device reliability.
