The MJ15023 and MJ15025 are power transistors designed for high
power audio, disk head positioners and other linear applications.
Features
• High Safe Operating Area
• High DC Current Gain
• Complementary to MJ15022 (NPN), MJ15024 (NPN)
• These Devices are Pb−Free and are RoHS Compliant*

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum
Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the Recommended
Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the
Recommended Operating Conditions may affect device reliability.
There are two limitations on the powerhandling ability of
a transistor: average junction temperature and second
breakdown. Safe operating area curves indicate I
limits of the transistor that must be observed for reliable
operation; i.e., the transistor must not be subjected to greater
dissipation than the curves indicate.
The data of Figure 1 is based on T
variable depending on conditions. At high case
temperatures, thermal limitations will reduce the power that
can be handled to values less than the limitations imposed by
second breakdown.
