Overview
The TIP29C is a high-performance NPN power transistor manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is part of the TIP29 series, which includes complementary PNP types such as the TIP30A and TIP30C. These transistors are produced using Planar technology with a 'Base Island' layout, resulting in exceptional high gain performance and very low saturation voltage. The TIP29C is packaged in a TO-220-3 (TO-220AB) flange mount, making it suitable for a variety of power applications.
