SS8050, NPN General-Purpose Transistor, TO-92

The SS8050 is a high-current NPN silicon transistor widely used for switching and amplification in low-voltage, medium-current applications such as portable radios, audio amplifiers, and power control circuits. With up to 1.5A collector current capacity and good thermal characteristics, it's ideal for use in complementary audio stages and signal processing circuits.

Key Features:

• NPN Amplifier Type: Designed for push-pull class B output stages in audio applications.
• High Current Handling: Rated for collector current up to 1.5A.
• Compact TO-92 Package: Through-hole mounting for easy PCB integration.
• Complementary Pair: Works with SS8550 (PNP) for full push-pull stages.
• Low Saturation Voltage: V_CE(sat) of just 0.5V at 800 mA, ideal for switching.
• Wide h_FE Range: DC gain from 85 to 300 depending on classification.

Additional Specifications:

• Type: NPN
• Max Voltage: 25V
• Max Current: 1.5A
