Instructions for Use:
- Heat Sinking: Due to the high power dissipation capability (up to 115W), ensure that the MJ2955 is properly heat-sunk to maintain operating temperatures within safe limits.
- Biasing: The base-emitter saturation voltage (VBE(sat)) is relatively high, so ensure that the base current (IB) is sufficient to keep the transistor in saturation when driving heavy loads.
- Overvoltage Protection: The maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCE) is 60V. Ensure that the supply voltage does not exceed this limit to avoid damaging the transistor.
- Current Limiting: The maximum collector current (IC) is 15A. Use appropriate current limiting resistors or circuits to prevent exceeding this value.
- Temperature Management: The operating junction temperature (TJ) should be kept below 125°C. Monitor the temperature and use adequate cooling solutions if necessary.
- Storage Conditions: Store the MJ2955 in a dry environment with temperatures between -65°C and 150°C to ensure long-term reliability.
- Handling Precautions: Handle the MJ2955 with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage the device. Use proper ESD protection equipment when handling the transistor.
