MJE13009A transistor package
The MJE13009A transistor had two types of packages TO-3P and TO-220, both of these are power transistor packages.
The TO-3P transistor package will be made with metal and plastic/epoxy, usage of these materials will give the transistor more heat withstanding capacity, and also the metal covering at the outside portion will be used to absorb heat from the heat sink.
The TO-220 package is made with plastic and metal, this is very useful for heat withstanding.
The through-hole components are used to attach the heat sink, it is really useful for the out flow of heat.
