TIP126 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TIP126 is a PNP Darlington transistor manufactured by STMicroelectronics, designed for general-purpose amplifier and low-speed switching applications. This component offers a high DC current gain (hFE) of 2500 (Typ) at 4.0 Adc and a collector-emitter sustaining voltage (VCEO(sus)) of 80 Vdc.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a continuous collector current of 5 Adc and a peak collector current of 8 Adc. The transistor has a low collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) of 2.0 Vdc (Max) at 3.0 Adc and 4.0 Vdc (Max) at 5.0 Adc. It also features built-in base-emitter shunt resistors for monolithic construction.

 

The TIP126 is housed in a TO-220-3 package, suitable for through-hole mounting. The operating junction temperature range is from -65°C to +150°C. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 1.92 °C/W, and from junction to ambient is 62.5 °C/W.

 

This device is designed for applications requiring high current gain and moderate power handling capabilities. Its complementary silicon structure makes it suitable for various amplification and switching circuits.
