TIP30C-BP

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The TIP30C-BP is a PNP silicon power bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a TO-220-3 through-hole package and supports a maximum collector current of 15 A with a collector-emitter voltage rating of 60 V. The device dissipates up to 125 W of power at 25°C, operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C, and includes an integrated heat sink tab for thermal management.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• High-power handling capability suitable for demanding electronic applications
• Robust thermal design with metal mounting tab for efficient heat dissipation
• Complementary pairing with NPN TIP29C devices for push-pull circuit configurations

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• Linear and switching power supply circuits
• Audio amplifier output stages
• Motor control driver interfaces

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BP' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and lead-free material specifications. Ensure the TO-220-3 physical dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring high current capacity in a PNP configuration. Consider the 125 W power dissipation limit and implement appropriate heatsinking solutions to maintain junction temperatures within the specified operational range during continuous load conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the TIP30 series of complementary silicon power transistors produced by MCC. It serves as the PNP counterpart to the TIP29 series, providing matched electrical characteristics for balanced performance in dual-transistor topologies commonly used in audio and power regulation systems.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the generic TIP30C from other manufacturers or the TIP30C-BP variant. Verify that any replacement maintains identical pinout compatibility and meets the original 60 V / 15 A / 125 W specifications.
