Overview
The TIP132G is a silicon Epitaxial-Base NPN power transistor in a monolithic Darlington configuration, manufactured by onsemi. Although this component is currently obsolete, it was designed for general-purpose amplifier and low-speed switching applications. The TIP132G is part of a family of Darlington transistors that include the TIP131 (NPN) and TIP137 (PNP) as complementary devices.
