MJE15033 PNP Power Transistor Datasheet

Introduction

The MJE15033 is a high-voltage, high-speed PNP power transistor designed for use in audio amplifier driver stages, power switching circuits, and linear applications. Built using epitaxial-base technology, it provides excellent gain stability, wide frequency response, and efficient thermal performance. This transistor is widely used in professional-grade audio amplifier systems due to its ability to handle high current and high voltage with low distortion.

Packaged in the TO-220 case, the MJE15033 offers reliable thermal dissipation and robust mechanical design. With a collector-emitter voltage of –250V, a collector current rating of –8A, and a maximum power dissipation of 50W, it is an ideal choice for medium to high-power circuits. Its characteristics make it suitable for linear amplifier outputs, switching regulators, and motor drivers, especially in designs requiring complementary push-pull configurations.
