MJ15023G PNP Silicon Power Transistor

The MJ15023G is a high-power PNP silicon transistor designed for high-power audio amplifiers, series pass regulators, and magnetic head drivers. It is a member of the "G" series, indicating that it is a lead-free (RoHS compliant) device. It is specifically engineered to handle high power levels while maintaining excellent linearity, making it a favorite for audiophile-grade high-fidelity power amplifiers. As the PNP complement to the MJ15022G NPN transistor, it is frequently used in push-pull output stages where high voltage and high current capability are required. The hermetically sealed TO-3 metal can ensures that the device can survive harsh electrical environments while providing a low thermal resistance path to a heat sink, allowing it to dissipate up to 250 Watts of power safely.

Key Features:

Continuous collector current (IC) capability of -16 Amperes.

Peak collector current (ICM) of -30 Amperes.

Total power dissipation (PD) of 250 Watts at 25 degrees Celsius case temperature.

High DC current gain (hFE) of 15 to 60 at 8.0 Amperes.

Robust TO-3 (TO-204AA) metal can package for high-power thermal management.
