TIP122 NPN n-type, General Purpose Transistors (max. 5A) - TO-220

The TIP122 is a Darlington pair NPN transistor. It functions like a normal NPN transistor, but since it has a Darlington pair inside it has a good collector current rating of about 5A and a gain of about 1000. It can also withstand about 100V across its collector- Emitter hence can be used to drive heavy loads.

How to Safely Long Run in a Circuit

To get better performance with this darlingtion transistor we suggest to always staying below its maximum ratings. Do not operate it in circuits using more than 100V. Do not provide load more than 5A. Always use a suitable base resistor to provide required current at its base. Use a suitable heatsink to save it from overheating and do store or use it in temperature below -65 centigrade and above +150 centigrade.
