MJE15030 VS MJE15032

Pretty sure they are not the same family. 28/29/30/31 is one family, 32/33 is another - the datasheets are different.



In order of increasing robustness/SOA at 50V: MJE15030 - 0.4A, MJE15032 - 1.0A, MJW3281 - 4A (the latter being an output device rather than driver for comparison)



But yes the MJE15032/33 are superior in every way I think to the 28/29/30/31
 
Thanks David & Mark

To resume, 15030 may have a better HFE but 15032 is a best choice for SOA.
MJE15032/33 will join TIP41C/42C, bd139/140 & MJE340/350 in my drivers box.

Any more comments on MJE series or "classical" must-have devices to add in drivers box ?
