Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official STMicroelectronics documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the component matches the specified TO-220 package and PNP polarity. Check for any relevant safety certifications or compliance standards required for your specific application environment before finalizing procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP Darlington transistor with 10 A current handling and 100 V voltage rating is required. Consider the TO-220 package for through-hole mounting and adequate heat dissipation for up to 90 W power dissipation. Ensure the circuit design accounts for the minimum hFE of 500 and the operating temperature range from -65°C to 150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The TIP147T belongs to the TIP14x series of complementary silicon power Darlington transistors. It serves as the PNP counterpart to NPN devices like the TIP142. These transistors are designed for general-purpose power amplification and switching, offering robust performance in high-current applications due to their monolithic construction and integrated protection features.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The TIP142 is the NPN complementary pair within the same series but differs in polarity. Direct replacement requires matching the PNP polarity. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics if substituting with other PNP Darlington transistors from different manufacturers.
