The historically-significant 2N3055 was designed by Herb Meisel's engineering group with RCA; it was the first multi-amp silicon power transistor to sell for less than one dollar, and became an industry workhorse standard. [10] The 2N3054 and 2N3055 were derived from the 2N1486 and 2N1490 after package redesigns by Milt Grimes.
According to the manufacturer, the NAD 3020 is a high voltage design that uses the same large powerful output transistors (2N3055 and MJ2955) that "other manufacturers employ in their '60-watt' amplifiers", enabling the amplifier to deliver power headroom for musical transients. [7]
The popular 2N3055 power transistor in a TO-3 case has an internal thermal resistance from junction to case of 1.52 °C/W. [4] The contact between the device case and heat sink may have a thermal resistance between 0.5 and 1.7 °C/W , depending on the case size and use of grease or insulating mica washer.

For example, 2N3055 is a silicon n–p–n power transistor, 2N1301 is a p–n–p germanium switching transistor. A letter suffix, such as "A", is sometimes used to indicate a newer variant, but rarely gain groupings.
A version of the 2N2222A in a larger metal TO-39 case, the 2N2219A had a higher power dissipation rating (3 watts when attached to a heatsink that keeps the case temperature at 25 C, or 0.8 watts in free air, compared with only 1.8 watts and 0.5 watts (respectively) for the 2N2222A.
Wikipedia is a free multilingual open-source wiki-based online encyclopedia edited and maintained by a community of volunteer editors, started on 15 January 2001 as an English-language encyclopedia. Non-English editions were soon created: the German and Catalan editions were created on circa 16 March, [ 1 ] the French edition was created on 23 ...
A 2N3904 made by Motorola.The pinout from left to right is: Emitter, Base, Collector. [1] A 2N3904 (lower left) in a TO-92 package on a breadboard. The 2N3904 is a common NPN bipolar junction transistor used for general-purpose low-power amplifying or switching applications.
