Overview
The TIP115-BP is a PNP Darlington power transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Co. This transistor is part of the TIP115, TIP116, and TIP117 series, which are complementary to the NPN types TIP110, TIP111, and TIP112. The TIP115-BP is designed for general-purpose amplifier and low-speed switching applications.
However, it is important to note that the TIP115-BP is currently obsolete and no longer manufactured. Users may need to consider available substitutes for their projects.
