TIP122 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TIP122 is an NPN Epitaxial Darlington Transistor manufactured by STMicroelectronics, designed for medium power linear switching applications. It is complementary to the TIP125, TIP126, and TIP127 series.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 100V, a continuous collector current (IC) of 5A, and a pulse collector current (ICP) of 8A. The device offers a high DC current gain (hFE) of 1000 at 3A and 3V. Saturation voltages are specified, with VCE(sat) at a maximum of 4V at 5A and 20mA, and 2V at 3A and 12mA. The base-emitter on voltage (VBE(on)) is typically 2.5V at 3A and 3V.

 

Thermal specifications include a junction temperature (TJ) of 150°C and a storage temperature range from -65°C to 150°C. Power dissipation is rated at 65W at 25°C case temperature and 2W at 25°C ambient temperature.

 

The TIP122 is supplied in a TO-220-3 package, suitable for through-hole mounting. This package type facilitates heat dissipation and ease of assembly in various electronic circuits.
