Central Semiconductor Corp. Single Bipolar Transistors TIP42A PBFREE

The TIP42A is a PNP silicon power transistor designed for power amplifier and high-speed switching applications, housed in a TO-220 package with dimensions of 14.23-15.87 mm in length, 10.01-10.60 mm in width, and 6.85 mm in height. It has a collector-emitter voltage rating of 60 V, a continuous collector current of 6.0 A, and a power dissipation of 65 W at 25°C case temperature. The device features a maximum peak collector current of 10 A, a base-emitter voltage of 5.0 V, and a switching time of 0.4 μs turn-on and 0.7 μs turn-off. The transition frequency is 3.0 MHz, and the DC current gain ranges from 15 to 75 at 3.0 A collector current. The operating and storage junction temperature range is -65 to +150°C. The tab is electrically connected to the collector.
