Central Semiconductor Corp. Darlington Transistors 2N6042

The 2N6042 is a PNP silicon power Darlington transistor in a TO-220 package, designed for general purpose amplifier applications. It has a collector-base voltage rating of 100 V, a collector-emitter voltage rating of 100 V, and a continuous collector current of 8.0 A. The peak collector current is 16 A, with a power dissipation of 75 W. The thermal resistance junction-to-case is 1.67 °C/W. The saturation voltage is 2.0 V at IC=3.0 A and IB=12 mA, and the current gain hFE ranges from 1,000 to 20,000 at IC=3.0 A and VCE=4.0 V. Operating and storage junction temperatures range from -65 °C to +150 °C.
