13005 / MJE13005 / E13005 Transistor TO-220 Code: 16976524

The 13005 (often designated as MJE13005 or E13005) is a high-voltage, high-speed NPN power switching transistor. It is specifically designed for 115V and 220V switch-mode applications, including electronic lighting ballasts, switching regulators, motor controls, and power inverters.

Key Specifications

• Package Type:TO-220
• Maximum Collector Current :4 A
• Maximum Collector-Emitter Voltage :400 V
• Maximum Collector-Base Voltage :700 V
• Maximum Power Dissipation :75 W
• DC Current Gain :8 to 40 (at 2 A)
• Transition Frequency :4 MHz

Pinout Configuration

The 13005 has three pins:

1. Base (B):Controls the biasing of the transistor.
2. Collector (C):The main terminal for current flow (often connected to the heat sink tab).
3. Emitter (E):The terminal where current exits.

Replacements & Equivalents

If you are repairing a circuit and need a substitute, you can use the ST13005, MJE13004, BUJ103A, 2N6499, or KSE13005. For slightly higher or lower power needs, transistors in the same family like the MJE13003, MJE13007, or MJE13009 are often used.
