TIP117 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TIP117 from On Semiconductor is a PNP Darlington power transistor designed for general-purpose amplification and low-speed switching applications. It offers a high DC current gain, with a typical hFE of 2500 at 1.0 Adc, and a minimum hFE of 1000 at 1A, 4V. The device can handle a continuous collector current of up to 2A and has a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 100V.

 

This transistor features a low collector-emitter saturation voltage of 2.5V maximum at 2.0 Adc, which helps minimize power loss during the ON state. It is constructed with monolithic technology and includes built-in base-emitter shunt resistors. The TIP117 is housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package, making it suitable for easy heatsink mounting.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter sustaining voltage of 100Vdc (min) for TIP112/TIP117, and a collector current of 2A continuous. The operating temperature range is -65°C to 150°C (TJ). This component is suitable for applications such as motor drivers, relay drivers, audio power amplifiers, and solenoid actuators.
