High Voltage Transistor MJE13005 – Datasheet, Application Notes

Last Updated on January 1, 2020 by Swagatam 14 Comments

The article relates us with the important features and specifications of MJE13005 device, which is a high voltage, high speed transistor, applicable for many different electronic circuit designs.
Let's try to understand the pin outs and technical specs of the device:

Pinout Diagram

Main Features

  • Package - TO-220AB (typically recommended)
  • Type - NPN Silicon
  • Power Handling Capaciy - 75 Watts,
  • Maximum Current Handling Capacity - 4 Amps
  • Maximum Voltage Handling Capacity - Not less than 400V

Main Application Areas

High voltage circuits, switch mode power supplies, motor control, switching regulators, inverters, solenoid drivers.

Maximum Tolerable Ratings

  • Maximum sustainable collector to emitter voltage = 400V DC (700V DC pulsed)
  • Maximum tolerable emitter to base voltage = 9V DC
  • Maximum sustainable collector to emitter current = 4 amps (8 amps pulsed)
  • Maximum continuous base current = 2 amps (4 amps pulsed)

Technical Specifications

  • Base emitter saturation voltage = typically 1.2V
  • DC current gain (hFE) = typically around 20 to 60
  • Application Circuits

A couple of application circuits using the MJE13005 have been discussed in the following articles:

    Sir,
    Good day to you
    Can I use this BT136-600D instead of (MJE13005 , TO-220AB )

    • Swagatam says

      satheesh, BT136 is a triac, whereas MJE13005 is a BJT, both cannot be interchnaged

    Sir,
    Good morning thanks for your quick reply
    Sorry sir seller told me this. So I asked you to confirm .BJT have any other equivalent number?

      satheesh, both the devices are rated to work at high voltages, but BT136 is specified to work with AC while MJE with DC…so are entirely different in that respect.

    Dear sir, can I made an 100-120watts inverter using MJE13005?

    Reply
    • Swagatam says

      Chandrachur, yes that may be possible if the input is 310V DC

    Sir can i use 13005 transistor to design 12v dc to 220v ac Inverter
    And can i use 13005 to build induction heater

    Reply
    • Swag says

      Loki, MJE13005 is suitable for high voltage applications, not for 12V or 24V applications, so no you cannot use it for inverter or induction circuits.

        Sir is ampere is the problem here
        If yes can i use many transistor (13005) in parallel to increase it

        • Swag says

          you can put them in parallel but use a common heatsink for all of them which are in parallel.

            I connected 12 13005 in parallel so total ampere of 12*4=48
            But still it get heated up when i conected it to my Inverter. The original transistor of my inverter is irfz44(mosfet) which is not available in my area where as 13005 is available at really cheap

              you will have to use a very large heatsink, and single heatsink for the all the BJTs on each channel…two separate heatsinks for the two channels.
              If it is cheap then it could duplicate one.

              You should try other recommended ones like 2N3055, TIP35 etc.
