VEBO = It’s the Emitter to Base breakdown voltage. VCBO = As above, it’s the device’s Collector to Base breakdown voltage. In simple words for a given device, the operations must be carried out and limited below these specified levels. VCEO = Indicates the Collector to Emitter Breakdown voltage of the particular device, or the maximum threshold voltage level beyond which the device may get damaged or blown off. The study of the following relevant acronyms is a must for all electronic students: Image Courtesy - 2N3055 Datasheet Explained for Easy Referenceīefore noting specific figures, readers should first become famliar with the various terminologies used on the 2N3055 spec sheet. Let’s have a more intense and precise study regarding the above specialization of the device in the following section. The above versatility of the device in turn makes it easily replaceable with other power transistors having varied characteristics, relieving the users from the headache of searching identical compatible matches for their individual specific applications.

High frequency handling range, again attributing the device with a wide range utility feature.Reasonable and consistent hFE gain makes it universally suitable and applicable for most purposes.Sturdy TO-3 case encapsulation makes it easily mountable over heatsinks with snug face to face contact, enabling perfect heat dissipation from the device and ensuring optimum response.Robust output current delivering capability makes it ideally suited for applications in power amplifiers and power inverters.
