TIP29E

The TIP29E is an NPN Silicon Power Transistor manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is designed for general-purpose power switching and amplification applications. This transistor series, including TIP29D, TIP29E, and TIP29F, offers robust performance with key electrical characteristics suitable for various electronic circuits.

Key specifications for the TIP29E include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 140V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 1A. It can handle a peak collector current (ICM) of 3A and a continuous base current (IB) of 0.4A. The device offers a continuous power dissipation of 30W at 25°C case temperature, making it suitable for moderate power applications. The operating junction temperature range is -65°C to +150°C.

The TIP29E is housed in a standard TO-220 package, which is a common through-hole mounting type. This package provides good thermal dissipation capabilities. The transistor's electrical characteristics, such as a collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) of 0.7V and a forward current transfer ratio (hFE) of 15 at 1A, are important for circuit design and efficiency calculations.

This power transistor is suitable for applications requiring reliable switching and amplification. Its specifications allow for use in power supplies, voltage regulators, and audio amplifiers where a dependable NPN power transistor is needed.
