TIP41A

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The TIP41A is an NPN silicon power transistor from the onsemi TIP41 series, housed in a TO-220AB package. It features a collector-emitter voltage rating of 60 Vdc and supports continuous collector currents up to 6.0 Adc with peak currents reaching 10 A. The device provides a total power dissipation capacity of 65 W at a case temperature of 25°C. Electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 15 at 3.0 Adc and 4.0 Vdc, and a maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage of 1.5 Vdc under high drive conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against the manufacturer's ordering information to confirm the exact voltage rating variant and package type. Confirm RoHS compliance status if lead-free packaging is required for assembly processes. Ensure thermal management solutions align with the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values provided in the datasheet.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60 V breakdown voltage is specifically required within the TIP41 family. Compare the 65 W power dissipation capability against the application's thermal constraints. Verify that the complementary TIP42A PNP transistor is available for push-pull configurations requiring matched performance characteristics.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This component belongs to the TIP41 complementary silicon plastic power transistor series manufactured by onsemi. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings: TIP41 (40 V), TIP41A (60 V), TIP41B (80 V), and TIP41C (100 V). All variants share identical physical packages and similar current handling capabilities.
