Motorola 2N5630 Vintage TO-3 NPN Silicon Power Transistor
$19.99
Original Motorola 2N5630 NPN silicon power transistor housed in the classic TO-3 metal can package. This vintage Motorola device has been professionally tested and verified functional with no measurable collector leakage and normal silicon junction characteristics. Suitable for vintage electronics restoration, industrial equipment repair, power supply applications, communications equipment, amplifier circuits, and semiconductor collections. The Motorola 2N5630 belongs to the era of rugged American-made power semiconductors commonly found in commercial, industrial, and communications equipment.
Historical Note:
Motorola was one of the leading U.S. semiconductor manufacturers during the 1960s through 1980s and produced a wide range of TO-3 power transistors for industrial controls, communications systems, power supplies, and commercial electronics. Devices from the 2N series remain popular among restorers and collectors due to their reliability and historical significance in early solid-state equipment.
