TIP110TU

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The TIP110TU is a silicon epitaxial-base NPN transistor manufactured by onsemi, housed in a monolithic Darlington configuration within a TO-220 plastic package. It features an integrated antiparallel collector-emitter diode and built-in bias resistors to simplify circuit design. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 100V and a continuous collector current of 8A. With a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 1000 at 3A and 4V, it provides high amplification for medium power linear and switching applications across a junction temperature range up to 150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TU corresponds to the required tube packaging format upon ordering. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards if restricted substances are a project constraint. Ensure the TO-220 footprint matches the target PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when high current gain and integrated protection are required in a single package. The built-in bias resistors reduce external component count compared to discrete Darlington pairs. Consider thermal management solutions given the 8A current capability and TO-220 package characteristics for effective heat dissipation during operation.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the TIP11x series of NPN Darlington transistors designed for robust performance in power electronics. It complements the PNP TIP115 and TIP117 devices, offering a matched pair solution for push-pull configurations. The series is engineered for reliability in demanding industrial and consumer electronic environments requiring efficient power handling.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the TIP110 from other manufacturers such as STMicroelectronics or Fairchild, provided pinouts and electrical ratings match. Verify that alternative packages maintain the same thermal resistance characteristics for equivalent performance.
