Product Introduction

Overview

The TIP42C is a PNP power transistor manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is part of the TIP42 series, which includes variations such as TIP42, TIP42A, TIP42B, and TIP42C. The TIP42C is housed in a TO-220 plastic package and is designed for high-power applications, including audio amplifiers and power management systems. This transistor is complementary to the NPN type TIP41C, making it suitable for balanced electronic designs. It is known for its high switching speed, improved DC current gain linearity, and robust heat dissipation capabilities.
