TIP42C Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TIP42C is a complementary PNP power transistor manufactured using base island technology, housed in a TO-220 plastic package. This device is designed for general purpose circuits, audio amplifiers, and power linear and switching applications.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 100V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 6A. The transistor also offers a collector peak current (ICM) of 10A and a base current (IB) of up to 3A. Its total power dissipation (PTOT) at 25°C case temperature is rated at 65W. The maximum operating junction temperature (TJ) is 150°C.

 

With a collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) of 1.5V at 6A and 0.6A, and a typical base-emitter voltage (VBE(on)) of 2V at 6A, the TIP42C is suitable for various power switching and amplification tasks. The device is packaged in a TO-220 tube format, designed for through-hole mounting.

 

This transistor is part of a complementary series with NPN devices, offering high switching speed and improved linearity. Its robust design makes it a reliable choice for demanding power applications.
