TIP100-BP

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The TIP100-BP is an NPN medium-power silicon transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a TO-220 package with monolithic construction and built-in base-emitter shunt resistors. Key electrical ratings include a collector-base voltage of 60V, collector-emitter voltage of 100V, continuous collector current of 8A, and power dissipation of 80W at 25°C case temperature. The device offers high DC current gain ranging from 1000 to 20000 and low collector-emitter saturation voltage.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Monolithic construction with integrated base-emitter shunt resistors
• High DC current gain for efficient drive requirements
• Low collector-emitter saturation voltage for reduced power loss

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• Medium power linear switching applications
• General purpose amplifier circuits
• Power management systems

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity by checking for the MCC logo and part marking on the TO-220 package. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required compliance status, as the standard -BP designation indicates RoHS compliance. Purchase only from authorized distributors to guarantee traceability and avoid counterfeit risks. Confirm thermal management requirements align with the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high current handling up to 8A and substantial voltage blocking capabilities. The integrated shunt resistors simplify biasing networks compared to standard Darlington configurations. Consider the TO-220 package for through-hole mounting and adequate heat sinking. Evaluate the high hFE range to ensure compatibility with low-drive control signals in switching or amplification roles.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The TIP100-BP belongs to the TIP100/TIP101/TIP102 series of NPN plastic medium-power silicon transistors. This family shares similar physical dimensions and packaging but differs in breakdown voltage ratings. The TIP100 specifically provides a 100V collector-emitter voltage rating, distinguishing it from lower voltage variants within the same product line.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other NPN Darlington transistors with comparable 8A current and 100V voltage ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when replacing. Check if the application requires the specific internal shunt resistors found in this design.
