Central Semiconductor Corp. Single Bipolar Transistors TIP42C SL PBFREE

The TIP42C is a PNP silicon power transistor designed for power amplifier and high-speed switching applications. It is packaged in a TO-220 case with a collector tab electrically connected to pin 2. The device has a collector-emitter voltage rating of 100 V, a continuous collector current of 6.0 A, and a power dissipation of 65 W. The blocking voltage is specified at 100 V under test conditions of IC=30 mA, with a saturation voltage of 1.5 V at IC=6.0 A and IB=0.6 A. Current gain (hFE) ranges from 15 to 75 at IC=3.0 A and VCE=4.0 V. The transition frequency is 3.0 MHz at IC=0.5 A and VCE=10 V. Operating and storage junction temperatures range from -65°C to +150°C. The device is bulk packed in standard quantities of 500.
