MJ15004 PNP Silicon Power Transistor

The MJ15004 is a high-power PNP silicon transistor engineered for high-fidelity audio amplifiers and heavy-duty linear applications. It is the direct PNP complement to the MJ15003 NPN transistor. Together, they form one of the most respected pairs in the audio industry for building push-pull output stages that require high current delivery and wide dynamic range. This device is designed to operate within a large Safe Operating Area (SOA), making it highly resistant to failure under the complex loads often presented by loudspeakers. The hermetically sealed TO-3 metal can is specifically used to handle its massive 250-Watt power rating, ensuring that heat is efficiently transferred to a heat sink. Its ruggedness and electrical stability make it a go-to choice for professional power amplifiers, industrial motor controllers, and high-current power supply regulators.

Key Features:

Continuous collector current (IC) capability of -20 Amperes.

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

DC current gain (hFE) of 25 to 150 at -5.0 Amperes.

Low collector emitter saturation voltage typically -1.0 Volt at -5.0 Amperes.

Robust TO-3 (TO-204AA) metal can package for superior heat management.
