Multicomp Pro TIP120 NPN Darlington Transistor TO-220 Package

Multicomp Pro TIP120 NPN Darlington Transistor is a through-hole power transistor in the TO-220 package, rated for a 60 V collector-emitter voltage and continuous collector currents up to 5 A.

Overview

The Multicomp Pro TIP120 is an NPN Darlington transistor supplied in the widely used three-pin TO-220 package. Its Darlington pair configuration provides a very high DC current gain, allowing high-current loads to be driven from a relatively low input current. It can dissipate up to 65 W and operates across a junction temperature range of -65 °C to 150 °C.

Key Features

• Collector-emitter voltage (Vce) rating of 60 V
• Continuous collector current up to 5 A
• Power dissipation up to 65 W
• Collector-emitter saturation voltage of 2 V at 3 A
• DC current gain of 1000 at Ic = 3 A
• Through-hole mounting for PCB and heatsink installation

Applications

The transistor suits a range of switching and amplification tasks. It is suited to low to medium-speed switching of motors, solenoids, relays and high-power LEDs, and its amplification capability makes it useful in audio amplifier output stages, power supply regulators and other linear circuits requiring high current drive. Its high current gain means it can be driven easily by microcontrollers, logic gates or other low-power signal sources.

Choose the Multicomp Pro TIP120 when you need a robust NPN Darlington transistor for switching or amplifying high-current loads in a TO-220 through-hole package.
