One for the electronics dabblers
Having used 3055 type bipolar transistors for years with all manner of
prefixes and suffixes in either TO3 or TO220 packages, I opened up something to repair today to find a MTP3055E inside and behaving strangely. Turns out it is an N channel Mosfet! GRRR! http://www.sycelectronica.com.ar/sem...s/MTP3055E.pdf Of all the numbers they could have given it why choose 3055 that so widely known for being a bipolar power transistor. Moral: Don't assume anything! |
