SS8550, PNP General-Purpose Transistor, TO-92

The SS8550 is a silicon epitaxial PNP transistor designed for low to medium current, low power, and general-purpose applications. It performs well in audio amplifiers, switching circuits, and power drivers, especially in class B push-pull configurations when used with the SS8050.

Key Features:

• High Collector Current: Rated for up to 1.5 A, ideal for medium-load switching and audio applications.
• Low Saturation Voltage: V_CE(sat) as low as 0.28V at -800 mA, ensuring efficient operation.
• High Gain Options: Multiple classifications (B, C, D) offer h_FE up to 300.
• Fast Switching Speeds: Suitable for output stages and power amplifiers.
• Thermally Efficient: Junction temperature up to 150°C; TO-92 plastic package.
• Complementary Pair: Matches with SS8050 (NPN) for class B push-pull amplifier design.

Additional Specifications:

• Type: PNP
• Max Voltage: -25V
• Max Current: -1.5A
