BUW13A NPN Transistor 450V 15A 175W TO-3PN

Description

BUW13A NPN Transistor 450V 15A 175W TO-3PN The BUW13A NPN Power Transistor is a glass‑passivated, high‑speed switching device housed in a TO‑3PN metal‑flanged package designed for rugged thermal performance. BUW13A offers V CEO = 450 V, I C = 15 A, peak I CM = 30 A, and maximum power handling of 175 W at T C =25 °C. The collector is bonded directly to the metal baseplate, and pin-out follows: pin 1=Base, pin 2=Collector, pin 3=Emitter. It’s suitable for converters, inverters, motor drivers, and high-speed switching circuits. Features High‑voltage NPN transistor rated for 450 V collector‑emitter and 1000 V collector‑base. 15 A continuous collector current; up to 30 A peak for short pulses. 175 W maximum dissipation (at T C =25 °C); low thermal resistance of ~0.7 °C/W. Glass‑passivated die for enhanced reliability in high-speed power switching. TO‑3PN metal-flanged package with collector tied to the case; Base=pin 1, Collector=pin 2, Emitter=pin 3.
