TIP146 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TIP146 is a PNP Silicon Power Darlington Transistor manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It is designed for general-purpose amplifier and low-speed switching applications where high gain is required. This transistor is built using an epitaxial base process and is mounted in a TO-218 plastic package.

Key electrical characteristics include a Collector-Emitter Sustaining Voltage (VCEO(sus)) of 80 Vdc at 30 mA, a continuous collector current (IC) of 10 A, and a peak collector current (ICM) of 20 A. The device offers a high DC current gain (hFE) of 1000 minimum at IC = 5 A and VCE = 4 V. Power dissipation is rated at 125 W, with a thermal resistance (ΘJC) of 1.0 °C/W.

The TIP146 is suitable for power linear and switching applications. Its complementary PNP types are TIP145 and TIP147. The transistor has a base current (IB) rating of 0.5 A and an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 5.0 V. Operating and storage junction temperatures range from -65 to +150 °C.

This component is designed for ease of use in various electronic circuits requiring high current amplification. The TO-218 package is suitable for through-hole mounting and applications requiring robust thermal performance.
