TIP126 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TIP126 is a PNP Darlington transistor manufactured by On Semiconductor, designed for general-purpose amplifier and low-speed switching applications. This component offers a high DC current gain, with a typical hFE of 2500 at 4.0 Adc. It has a collector-emitter sustaining voltage (VCEO(sus)) of 80 Vdc and can handle a continuous collector current of 5 A, with a peak current capability of 8 A.

 

The transistor features a monolithic construction with built-in base-emitter shunt resistors, contributing to its stability and performance. The collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) is a maximum of 2.0 Vdc at 3.0 Adc and 4.0 Vdc at 5.0 Adc. It is housed in a TO-220-3 package, suitable for through-hole mounting.

 

With a total power dissipation of 65 W at 25°C case temperature and 2 W at 25°C ambient temperature, the TIP126 is well-suited for medium-power applications. The operating junction temperature range is from -65°C to +150°C, and the storage temperature range is also -65°C to +150°C.

 

This device is designed for applications requiring high current gain and moderate voltage and current handling capabilities. Its complementary silicon power transistor nature makes it suitable for various amplification and switching circuits where a PNP type is required.
