Hi all,
I know the "Power dissipation" is a intentional waste of power in the transistor to achieve a task. But when I was searching for a 13009 transistor I got two types of cases: TO-220 and TO-3P. Almost all parameters are same. Same voltage, same collector current, same base current. But smaller case (TO-220) has just 2W power dissipation (2W waste) and the bigger ( TO-3P) has 80W power dissipation (80W waste). Really interesting difference! Does this mean I need to pick the smaller one to get same performance?
