2N6059 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N6059 is an NPN Darlington power transistor designed for high-current, low-frequency power applications. It provides a collector-emitter sustaining voltage of 100V and a continuous collector current rating of 12A, making it suitable for general-purpose amplifier and low-frequency switching circuits.

 

The transistor offers a high DC current gain of 750 minimum at 6A collector current, with a minimum gain of 100 at 12A. The collector-emitter saturation voltage is limited to 3V maximum at 12A, ensuring efficient switching. Maximum power dissipation is 150W at 25°C case temperature, with a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.17°C/W.

 

The 2N6059 is housed in a TO-3 (TO-204AA) metal package for chassis mounting, providing excellent thermal performance. It is rated for an operating and storage junction temperature range of -65°C to +200°C. The monolithic Darlington construction includes built-in base-emitter shunt resistors for enhanced stability.
