TIP41C-BP

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The TIP41C-BP is a silicon NPN power transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a TO-220-3 through-hole package with the collector connected to the case. Key electrical ratings include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 100 V, a maximum collector-base voltage of 100 V, and an emitter-base voltage of 5 V. The device supports a continuous collector current of 6 A and a total power dissipation of 65 W at 25°C ambient temperature. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and has a gain-bandwidth product of 3 MHz.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• High current handling capability suitable for general-purpose amplifier and switching applications
• Robust thermal design with collector connected to the metal tab for efficient heat dissipation
• Complementary pairing available with the TIP42C series for push-pull configurations

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose linear amplifiers
• Power switching circuits
• Complementary push-pull output stages

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer marking on the component body against the MCC datasheet to confirm authenticity. Ensure the TO-220-3 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Confirm that the supplier provides official documentation rather than third-party descriptions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current NPN transistor with 100V breakdown voltage is required in a TO-220 package. Consider the complementary TIP42C-BP for matched PNP/NPN pairs in audio or motor driver circuits. Evaluate thermal management needs as the 65W rating assumes adequate heatsinking. Verify that the 6A continuous current rating aligns with the peak load demands of the target application circuit.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the TIP41/TIP42 family of silicon plastic power transistors designed for general-purpose use. The 'C' suffix typically denotes the 100V voltage rating variant within the series. MCC produces this component as a through-hole discrete device intended for board-level integration in power electronics and signal processing hardware.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' TIP41C variants such as STMicroelectronics TIP41C or ON Semiconductor TIP41CG. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure voltage/current ratings meet or exceed the original specifications before substitution.
