MJL21193 PNP Power Transistor Datasheet

Introduction

The MJL21193 is a high-power PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for audio power amplifier output stages, linear amplifiers, and high-current switching circuits. Manufactured by ON Semiconductor, this device is built in a TO-264 package, offering exceptional thermal stability and heat dissipation. It is widely used in Hi-Fi audio amplifier designs, professional sound reinforcement systems, and industrial power amplifiers that require both reliability and clean signal reproduction.

This transistor delivers excellent linear gain, low distortion, and a broad safe operating area (SOA), making it a perfect choice for high-fidelity class-AB push-pull amplifier configurations. It can handle a collector current of up to 16A, with a collector-emitter voltage of 250V and a power dissipation of 200W, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy load or thermal stress conditions.

MJL21193 PNP Power Transistor

The MJL21193 is specifically designed to operate as the PNP complementary pair of the MJL21194 (NPN) transistor, providing perfect symmetry for push-pull amplifier circuits. Its high reliability, wide frequency response, and rugged construction make it an ideal choice for both commercial and industrial audio applications where durability and performance are critical.
