I need to buy some '3055's. Is there much risk of getting a counterfeit? I read that because these are so cheap, they are being substituted (and relabeled) for more expensive transistors. But there's not much profit in counterfeiting 3055's.
Should I be concerned?
Thanks,
I just wonder, why would anyone spec a 2N3055 these days anyway?
Thanks, Rich
I haven't looked at the price recently but for a 115W TO-3 npn general purpose power transistor it may actually be very cost effective.
Beware of the difference between the 2N3055 and 2N3055H.

Just max voltage, I think...? 60v vs. 100v
