TIP32C ST Bipolar (BJT)

The TIP32C is a silicon epitaxial-base PNP power transistor from STMicroelectronics in TO-220 plastic package, designed for medium power linear and switching applications with complementary NPN type TIP31C . For selection, verify collector-emitter sustaining voltage VCEO of 100V (minimum), continuous collector current of 3A, collector-emitter saturation voltage of 1.2V maximum at IC=3A, DC current gain hFE from 10 to 50 at 1A, transition frequency fT of 3MHz minimum at IC=500mA, power dissipation of 40W with proper heatsinking, and operating junction temperature from -65°C to +150°C . Features include compact TO-220 package with collector connected to metal tab (requires insulation during mounting), excellent current gain bandwidth product, and Pb-free option. Applications include separate audio amplifiers, audio amplifier stages, DC motor drivers and controllers, relay drivers, LED and lamp switching, handling loads up to 3A, Darlington pair configurations, and output stages for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other electronic platforms .
