Overview
The TIP36CW is a PNP power transistor manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is part of the TIP35CW and TIP36CW series, which are complementary NPN and PNP transistors, respectively. These transistors are designed using planar technology with a 'base island' layout, resulting in exceptional high gain performance and very low saturation voltage. This makes them suitable for a variety of general-purpose and audio amplifier applications.
