MJE13005 PBFREE

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Central Semiconductor MJE13005 PBFREE is a Silicon NPN power transistor designed for high-speed switching applications. It features a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 400 V and a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 700 V. The device supports a continuous collector current of 4.0 A with a peak current of 8.0 A, and an emitter current of 6.0 A. Power dissipation reaches 75 W when mounted on a heatsink at 25°C, or 2.0 W in free air. The transition frequency (fT) is 4.0 MHz, and the operating junction temperature range spans from -65°C to +150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Engineered for high-speed power switching operations
• Utilizes a JEDEC TO-220 package with a tab electrically common to the collector pin
• Constructed using silicon material composition

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• High-speed power switching circuits
• Offline power supply designs
• Motor drive systems

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking for the specific 'PBFREE' suffix indicating lead-free plating. Confirm that the physical package matches the standard TO-220 mechanical outline provided in the datasheet. Ensure the supplier provides traceability documentation matching Central Semiconductor Corp manufacturing records before finalizing acquisition.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring high-voltage handling up to 700 V and moderate current capacity. Evaluate thermal management requirements carefully, as power dissipation drops significantly without a heatsink. Verify that base drive currents are sufficient to maintain saturation during high-load conditions to minimize switching losses.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the MJE series of NPN silicon power transistors manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. The series is characterized by high breakdown voltages suitable for demanding industrial and consumer electronics environments. The TO-220 form factor allows for direct mounting onto heat sinks for efficient thermal transfer.
