TIP137 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TIP137 is a power bipolar junction transistor (BJT) from STMicroelectronics, specifically a PNP Darlington type. It is designed for applications requiring high current gain and moderate power handling. The transistor boasts a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 100V and can handle a continuous collector current of up to 8A.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 1000 at 4A and 4V, and a maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage of 3V at 6A. The device is housed in a standard TO-220-3 package, which is suitable for through-hole mounting and offers good thermal performance.

 

With a continuous device dissipation of 70W at 25°C case temperature, the TIP137 is well-suited for power amplification and switching tasks in various electronic circuits. Its operating junction temperature range is from -65°C to +150°C, providing robustness in different environmental conditions.
