Single Bipolar Transistors datasheet and documents for TIP120

TIP120

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The TIP120 is an NPN Darlington power transistor manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. It utilizes a TO-220 package with three leads and features a collector tab electrically connected to Pin 2 (Collector). The device supports through-hole mounting and offers a maximum continuous collector current of 5 A. Absolute maximum ratings include a collector-emitter voltage of 60 V, a collector-base voltage of 60 V, and an emitter-base voltage of 5 V. Power dissipation is rated at 2 W in free air and 65 W at a 25°C case temperature. The component has a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 1000 at 3 V and 3 A.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific plating suffix required for your assembly process, as the base part number does not specify lead-free or tin/lead composition. Confirm availability status, as this component may be subject to discontinuation notices or stock-only restrictions. Ensure the ordering documentation explicitly states the desired termination finish to avoid supply variability.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-gain NPN switch is required for moderate voltage levels up to 60 V. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics if operating near the 65 W case limit. Verify that the driving circuit can provide sufficient base current to achieve the specified saturation levels given the Darlington structure's inherent voltage drops.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

Central Semiconductor Corp produces the TIP120 as part of a broader portfolio of bipolar junction transistors. The manufacturer provides material composition data indicating the use of EMC GREEN molding compound and specifies copper alloy leadframes. Support services include SPICE models and custom electrical curves for design integration.
