TIP36C SL

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The TIP36C SL is a PNP silicon power transistor manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp using an epitaxial base process. It operates within the TO-218 package and serves as part of a complementary series with NPN devices. The component supports a continuous collector current of 25 A and a peak collector current of 40 A. Maximum ratings include a collector-emitter voltage of 100 V, a collector-base voltage of 100 V, and a power dissipation capacity of 125 W at 25°C case temperature. The device functions reliably across a junction temperature range of -65 to +150 °C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify active status directly with Central Semiconductor Corp prior to ordering. Confirm lead times and availability through official distributor channels or direct manufacturer contact. Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements if applicable to your specific procurement specifications. Request updated datasheets to confirm current manufacturing revisions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring robust PNP power handling capabilities in a TO-218 form factor. Consider thermal management strategies given the 125 W dissipation rating. Evaluate complementary NPN options for push-pull configurations. Verify voltage margins against the 100 V collector-emitter limit under all operating conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This device belongs to the TIP35/TIP36 series of complementary silicon power transistors. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings (TIP35A/B/C and TIP36A/B/C). The 'SL' suffix denotes a specific plating option requested during ordering. These components are widely used in audio amplifiers and motor control circuits.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Central Semiconductor lists TIP36C in the TO-247 package as a replacement for legacy TO-218 versions. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Contact [email protected] for alternate source assistance if needed.
