The SS8050 is an NPN epitaxial silicon transistor specified for output amplifier applications in portable radios operating in Class-B push-pull configurations. The datasheet identifies it as complementary to the SS8550.
The device is rated for a collector-emitter voltage of 25 V and supports a continuous collector current of 1.5 A. Power dissipation is specified as 1 W at an ambient temperature of 25 °C, with thermal derating defined above this temperature.
Electrical characteristics list DC current gain values dependent on classification and operating current, and a current gain bandwidth product of 100 MHz under the stated test conditions. The SS8050 is supplied in a TO-92-3 package, with standard lead configurations as shown in the datasheet.
