2N5303 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N5303 is an NPN high-power silicon bipolar junction transistor in a TO-204AA (TO-3) through-hole package. It is designed for high-current switching and linear amplifier applications, with an 80 V collector-emitter voltage rating, 20 A collector current capability, and 200 W total power dissipation.

 

Key electrical specifications include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 15 at Ic = 15 A and Vce = 2 V, a maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage of 2 V at Ib = 4 A and Ic = 20 A, and a transition frequency of 2 MHz. The junction operating temperature range is -65°C to +200°C, and the thermal resistance from junction to case is 0.875 °C/W.

 

The device is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/456 with JANTX/JANTXV levels, supporting use in high-reliability and military power circuits. The TO-3 metal package provides robust thermal coupling for high-power designs.
