TIP142 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The STMicroelectronics TIP142 is a complementary silicon power transistor featuring a monolithic Darlington configuration. This design provides exceptional high-gain performance coupled with a very low saturation voltage, making it suitable for general-purpose amplifier and low-frequency switching applications.

 

Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter voltage of 100V, a continuous collector current of 10A, and a peak collector current of 15A. The device boasts a high DC current gain (hFE) of 1000 minimum at 5A and 4V, and a maximum Vce saturation of 3V at 40mA and 10A. It can handle a total power dissipation of 125W at 25°C.

 

This transistor is housed in a TO-247-3 package, designed for through-hole mounting. The operating and storage junction temperature range is from -65°C to +150°C. Thermal characteristics include a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.0°C/W and a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 35.7°C/W.

 

The TIP142 is a preferred device for applications requiring robust power handling and high current gain.
