Tip: Data for a part may vary between manufacturers. You can filter for manufacturers on the top of the page next to the part image and part number.
MJE340 by SPC Multicomp is a Power Bipolar Transistor.
Power Bipolar Transistors are under the broader part category of Transistors.
A transistor is a small semiconductor device used to amplify, control, or create electrical signals. When selecting a transistor, factors such as voltage, current rating, gain, and power dissipation must be considered, with common types.

The MJE340 can operate safely between -55°C to 150°C, but the recommended operating temperature range is -40°C to 125°C for optimal performance and reliability.
To ensure proper biasing, set the base-emitter voltage (Vbe) between 0.6V to 0.8V, and the collector-emitter voltage (Vce) between 1V to 10V, depending on the specific application requirements.
The maximum collector current rating for the MJE340 is 500mA, but it's recommended to derate the current to 300mA or less for reliable operation and to prevent overheating.
Yes, the MJE340 can be used as a switch in digital circuits, but it's not recommended due to its relatively slow switching time (around 10μs) and high saturation voltage (around 0.5V). A faster-switching transistor like the 2N3904 or 2N2222 might be a better choice for digital switching applications.
To prevent thermal runaway, ensure proper heat sinking, use a heat sink with a thermal resistance of 10°C/W or less, and maintain a safe operating temperature range. Additionally, consider using a thermal protection circuit or a current limiter to prevent excessive current flow.
