All the Darlington power BJTs I have ever seen use ONE chip.

The driver is tucked away in a corner.




** As in this example, (see jpegs) from the early 1980s.

A TIC brand " MJ15004 " coded " 8024" for the 24th week of 1980.

BTW:

TIC = " Transistor Instrument Corporation " of Florida USA.

A totally ** CRIMINAL ** operation.

The SEPTIC ****S just relabelled any damn PIECE of **** they
picked up from the local garbage dump as being the same type some
dumb as some ****
FOREIGN customer ordered.

In this case it was the famous " Dick Smith Electronics " of
Australia -
who purchased some 30,000 of them, in several batches over a
period of a year or so.

Stuffed them into 300 watt amp kits, sold them as spares to kit
builders and also to repair techs.

Never had to take one single one back.

What a bunch of ****ing ****S !!!!!

Unless i misjudge the photos pretty badly that is no where near a
typical 100 W device, let alone a 300 W device. More reference
dimensions (e.g. the can boundaries) would have been easier to
follow.
