2N3055 100V 15A NPN Power Transistor TO-3

Product details of 2N3055 100V 15A NPN Power Transistor TO-3
The 2N3055 is a silicon NPN power transistor intended for general purpose applications. It was introduced in the early 1960s by RCA using a hometaxial power transistor process, transitioned to an epitaxial base in the mid-1970s. Its numbering follows the JEDEC standard. It is a transistor type of enduring popularity.
The 2N3055 transistor comes in TO-3 metal case packaging with two holes. These holes make it easy to attach the transistor to a heatsink. The TO-3 case is made of the metal itself and thus helps in reducing the heat.
