TIP122 NPN Darlington Pair Transistor

DESCRIPTION:

• 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.
• Collector emitter voltage (Vce) of 100V
• Continuous collector current (Ic) of 5A
• Power dissipation of 65W
• Operating junction temperature range from -65°C to 150°C.DC current gain of 1000 at Ic=3A
• Can be used to switch high current (upto 5A) loads
• Can be used as medium Power switches
• Used where high amplification is needed
• Speed control of Motors
• Inverter and other rectifier circuits
