Market demand for this product has caused an extension in leadtimes. DC Current gain(hFE = 20 to 70 at Ic = 4ADC).These Devices are Pb−Free and are RoHS Compliant.In addition, the 2N3055G (NPN) and MJ2955 (PNP. And, theyll usually be fine up to +/- 38V power supplies for 60W amps, better than the SOA I have seen for TIP3055/TIP2955. The SOA of the 2N3055 is up to 40V at 115W, and 60V at about 1A which is higher than any previous epitaxial 2N3055. They include the MPSA42, 2N3055, 2N3906, 2N2369, and BC547. The latest 2N3055 from ON Semi is similar, I suspect, to their MJ15003/4 processing. Electrical engineering professionals can thus use them in place of the S8050. It can also be used in power switching circuits such as relay or solenoid drivers, dc-to-dc converters, inverters or for inductive loads requiring higher safe operating area than the 2N3055. Also, there are other alternatives to the S8050, also belonging to the NPN transistors package type. In addition, the 2N3055G (NPN) and MJ2955 (PNP) are complementary power transistors. The Bipolar Power Transistor is designed for high power audio, stepping motor and other linear applications.
