Onsemi MJ15015G NPN Power Transistor TO-3 15A

Onsemi MJ15015G NPN Power Transistor 15A is a silicon NPN bipolar power transistor with a continuous collector current of 15 A, housed in a TO-3 metal package. Its 180 W power dissipation rating and 120 V collector-emitter voltage make it suited to linear and power switching circuits.

Overview

The MJ15015G is designed for linear applications and power switching where power handling and thermal performance are important. The metal TO-3 package supports heat transfer to a heatsink, and the device is intended to manage substantial current and thermal loads in professional and industrial electronic designs.
