Hi Guys! Thank you for clicking this read. Hope this finds you well. In this post today, I’ll document the Introduction to Tip42.
Tip42 is a medium power silicon transistor mainly used for switching and amplification purpose. It belongs to the PNP transistor family and comes in the TO-220 package. The collector current is 6A which signals it can support load under 6A. Both collector-base and the collector-emitter voltages are 40V. And the only 5V is required to initiate the transistor action as the emitter-base voltage is 5V. The power dissipation is 65W which defines the amount of energy re ...
