TIP 41A

Rare: New Old Stock

The TIP41A is a silicon NPN epitaxial-base power transistor housed in a TO-220 plastic package. It is designed for general-purpose power amplifier and switching applications, such as audio amplifiers and motor control circuits. Key Specifications As of 2026, the standard electrical characteristics for the TIP41A include: Collector-Emitter Voltage (\(V_{CEO}\)): 60 V. Collector Current (\(I_{C}\)): 6 A (Continuous); up to 10 A (Pulse).Power Dissipation (\(P_{D}\)): 65 W (at \(T_{C}=25^{\circ }C\)).DC Current Gain (\(h_{FE}\)): Minimum 15 (at \(I_{C}=3A\)).Transition Frequency (\(f_{T}\)): 3.0 MHz. Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to +150°C. Common Applications Power Linear & Switching: Often used in driver stages of high-power audio amplifiers. Switching Regulators: Suitable for low-frequency power switching. Complementary Pair: The TIP42A is the PNP counterpart used for complementary symmetry circuits.
