Description

The 2N3055 is a low-frequency silicon NPN power transistor listed in the Agenda radioelectronistului (2nd edition, 1989) among the bipolar transistors made in Romania by IPRS Băneasa, in a TO-3 package [1].

The Agenda lists the 2N3055, 2N3055H and 2N3055W in one row, „2N 3055(H,W)” [1].

Coded as (JEDEC system) [2]:

Part Meaning
2 device with 3 electrodes (transistor, thyristor etc.)
N semiconductor device
3055 identification number (01–9999)

hFE (h21E) measured at IC = 4 A; Vce sat at IC = 4 A [1].

2N3055/1, 2N3055/2, 2N3055/3, 2N3055/4, 2N3055/7, 2N3055/9

hFE (h21E) measured at IC = 3 A; Vce sat at IC = 4 A [1].

2N3055/4

The VCEO value (20 V) is taken from the 1st edition of the Agenda (1983) [3]; it is unclear in the scan of the 2nd edition (20 or 26).

2N3055/10

hFE (h21E) measured at IC = 4 A; Vce sat at IC = 3 A [1].
