TIP117 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TIP117 is a PNP Darlington power transistor manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is designed for general-purpose amplifier and low-speed switching applications, offering high DC current gain.

 

Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 100V, a continuous collector current of 2A, and a peak collector current of 4A. The device exhibits a low collector-emitter saturation voltage of 2.5V maximum at 2A collector current and 8mA base current. Its high DC current gain (hFE) is typically 2500 at 1.0 Adc, and a minimum of 1000 at 1A, 4V.

 

Packaged in a TO-220-3 through-hole configuration, the TIP117 is suitable for applications requiring easy heatsink mounting. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. The transistor's monolithic construction includes built-in base-emitter shunt resistors.

 

This transistor is commonly used in applications such as motor drivers, relay drivers, audio power amplifiers, solenoid actuators, and lamp/LED drivers. It is suitable for demanding switching and amplification duties where high current gain is required for low base current control.
