TIP42CTU Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TIP42CTU is a PNP epitaxial silicon transistor designed for general-purpose amplification and switching applications. It offers a collector-emitter voltage rating of 100V and can handle a continuous collector current of up to 6A.

 

This transistor has a power dissipation of 2W and operates at a junction temperature up to 150°C. Key electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 15 at 3A and 4V, and a Vce saturation of 1.5V maximum at 600mA and 6A. Its transition frequency (fT) is 3MHz.

 

The TIP42CTU is supplied in a TO-220-3 package, suitable for through-hole mounting. This package type is common in power applications where heat dissipation is a consideration.

 

Compliance information indicates RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 Unlimited, and REACH unaffected status, though these are based on existing database information and may require verification.
