TIP105TU

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The TIP105TU is a PNP silicon epitaxial-base power transistor in a monolithic Darlington configuration, housed in a TO-220AB (CASE 221A) package. It features a collector-emitter sustaining voltage of 60 Vdc minimum and supports continuous collector currents up to 8.0 Adc with peak ratings of 15 A. The device offers high DC current gain, typically 2500 at 4.0 Adc, and includes built-in base-emitter shunt resistors. Total power dissipation reaches 80 W at 25°C case temperature, with a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.56 °C/W.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Monolithic Darlington construction with integrated base-emitter shunt resistors for simplified drive requirements
• High DC current gain capability suitable for general-purpose amplifier applications
• Low collector-emitter saturation voltage to minimize conduction losses in switching modes
• Robust thermal performance with low junction-to-case thermal resistance

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose linear amplifiers
• Low-speed switching circuits
• Power regulation stages requiring high gain

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm package style and compliance status. Ensure the procurement channel sources directly from authorized distributors or the manufacturer to guarantee component authenticity and traceability. Confirm that the delivered parts match the specified electrical characteristics and physical dimensions outlined in the datasheet.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high current handling and substantial voltage blocking capabilities in a PNP configuration. Consider the thermal management requirements given the 80 W power dissipation rating and the necessity for adequate heatsinking to maintain junction temperatures within safe operating limits during continuous operation.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This device belongs to the TIP10x complementary silicon transistor family, which includes NPN types (TIP100, TIP101, TIP102) and PNP types (TIP105, TIP106, TIP107). The series is designed for medium-power applications, offering varying voltage ratings across the lineup while maintaining consistent mechanical and thermal characteristics in the TO-220 package.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The TIP102 is the preferred complementary NPN type for symmetric designs. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when substituting with other Darlington transistors from different manufacturers.
