2N3055

STMicroelectronics

2N3055 is an ST NPN power transistor in TO-3 (TO-204AA) metal-can — VCEO 60 V, continuous collector current 15 A, the classic linear-regulator pass transistor. The TO-3 metal can is the selection point: 115 W dissipation with proper heatsinking — the device that built generations of bench power supplies, suited for audio, power-linear and switching applications. Selection advice: lifecycle warning — ST lists the 2N3055 as obsolete (out of production); for repairs and legacy builds we source remaining distributor stock, and for new designs use a current-production power transistor or MOSFET. Its PNP complement is the MJ2955 — for push-pull or complementary output stages the two are specified as a pair. Evidence: ST data confirms NPN, TO-3, obsolete status. Match the full 2N3055 code on your BOM. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

2N3055 selection guidance

2N3055 is a NPN power transistor from STMicroelectronics, orderable in the TO-3 package. The ordering code fixes the exact configuration you receive — package, grade and packing — so procurement starts with matching this code character-for-character against your BOM, not just the base series name.

When you request a quote, include the full ordering code, the target packing format (reel, tube, tray or cut tape), your quantity and any date-code or lot requirements. We reconfirm manufacturer, suffix, package, date code and traceability against the actual offered lot before any commercial quote is issued, and every RFQ gets a reply within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

2N3055 FAQ

What do the suffixes in 2N3055 mean?

Every suffix in a manufacturer ordering code identifies one exact orderable device — package, temperature grade, packing format or a revision. 2N3055 names the TO-3 configuration; a code that differs by even one suffix character may be a different device. Always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.

What is the difference between package and packing for 2N3055?

The package (TO-3) is the physical form of the device itself. Packing describes how the devices are delivered — reel, tube, tray or cut tape. The same ordering code can ship in different packing formats depending on the lot, so confirm the required packing format when you submit your RFQ.

Can you provide traceability documents for 2N3055?

Traceability evidence — lot and date-code information, labels and photos — is confirmed per lot at quotation time, because it depends on the actual lot offered. Tell us which documents your receiving inspection requires when you submit the RFQ, and we will confirm what can be provided for the offered lot.

How do I request a quotation for 2N3055?

Add 2N3055 to your RFQ with the complete ordering code, the manufacturer (STMicroelectronics), your quantity, the target packing format and any date-code requirements. We reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
