TIP32C Transistor pinout Features and Applications
The TIP32c is a PNP transistor. Because it has a high collector current of about 2A, the Tip32c transistor can be used for Power switching or large signal amplification. Transistor Tip32c is basically known for its high amplification ability because 2A is not much of a higher ability.
Therefore, if you are watching for a PNP transistor for your amplifier circuit then this transistor might be your choice to switch higher current loads above 2A and attempt logic level MOSFETs like IRF540N which also drives at 5V.the Pin Configuration of TIP32c.

Complement of PNP transistor:
The complement of the TIP32C transistor is the: TIP31C.
Replacement and equivalent of TIP32C transistor:
The replacement and equivalent of the TIP32C transistor BDT32C,TIP32CG,TIP32E, MJF32C, MJF32CG, TIP32CF, TIP32D, or TIP32F
How we can use it:
Although TIP has a high collector current and current gain, it is justly simple to control the device because TIP32C Transistor has an Emitter-Base voltage of only 5Volt and a base current of only 120mA. But because we are dealing with high currents, there will be good heat dissipation for switching applications and so a heat drop is recommended. Also, the Transistor can be operated directly from the PWM signal because the Emitter-Base voltage is less, however, the PWM should source enough current for full saturation of the Transistor.
Applications of PNP Transistor:
- Half bridge circuits
- Large signal amplification
- Inverter and other rectifier circuits
- Speed control of Motors
- high current switching (upto 2A) loads
- Can be used as medium Power switches
