MJE13003 transistor package

The transistor 13003 is been come up with a different package, commonly TO-225 and TO-126 packages

Both the component package is generally used for power components which can have the ability to handle higher power.

The TO-126 and TO-225 package is made up with epoxy and plastic material, the power capacity is quite high and a hole is at the package for attaching transistor with the heat sink.

MJE13003 transistor Description

13003 or MJE13003 transistor is NPN type, which can handle higher voltage and has high-speed switching operation.

The 13003 transistors have a higher voltage value at the collector to base of 700v and collector to emitter of 400v, this will make it at higher voltage applications.

Maximum current gain at the 13003 transistors is 8 to 40hFE, this value is more important at the amplifier and switching operations.

The power dissipation value for this transistor is noted 1.4W, it is a power transistor that had more applications at high voltage applications.

The transition frequency value at 13003 transistors is 10MHz, this frequency rating is great for a higher power fastest switching transistor.

MJE13003 transistor inverter

The figure shows the main applications circuit using 13003 transistors, it is a simple model circuit of the inverter.

The circuit of two 13003 transistors is connected to a step-up transformer, we know 13003 is the fast switching transistor.

When the DC signal passes to the inverter network, the fast switching operation makes it an AC signal.

Then after passing the low voltage AC into the step-up transformer, it steps up the voltage range to a higher level.

MJE13003 transistor amplifier circuit

The figure shows the amplifier circuit using 13003 transistors, it is a simple amplifier circuit.

The preamplifier transistor handles the input audio signal and amplifies it to a level and passes over to the second stage.

Both the transistor amplification make the signal an amplified output and 13003 transistors as the amplifier is not a common thing.
