The TIP120 Transistor is a Darlington pair transistor & this transistor must have in your computer lab. This transistor has some of the good features which are 5A load pick up, collector & emitter voltage of 60V, and emitter-base voltage of 5V. Maximum collector dissipation of 65 Watt and a max current gain of 1000 which makes this transistor ideal to use in different varieties of switching and amplification purposes in electronic circuits. Pin configuration of TIP120 Transistor.
The Complement of TIP120 is TIP125
The Alternate of Tip120 transistor are:2N6388, 2N6530, 2N6532, 2SD1191, 2N6044, BDW43, TIP142T, MJF122, MJF6388, 2N6045, 2N6045G, 2SD1026, 2N6043, TIP120, 2SD633, 2SD634, TIP101, TIP131, BDT63B,
TIP120 Transistor can be used in a variety of switching and amplification-related applications. When used as a switch it requires only 120mA to its base to become completely saturated and drive a load of 5A. With 5A of current one can drive a verity of components such as high-power LED bulbs, LEDs, high-power relays, LEDs strips, and other switches, devise and full part of a circuit, or a fully separate device. When we work as amplifiers amplify a very small quantity of audio to drive a high-power speaker directly with on other extra circuits required. It can also be used in the preamplifier and amplifier stages. Its emitter_to_base voltage cost also makes it ideal to use with microcontrollers and other devices to drive loads below 5A.
To get long-term performance with this transistor it is recommended to not operate a load of more than 60V and 5A.
To safely run the TIP120 transistor in your applications and to get long-term performance with this transistor it is recommended to not operate a load of more than 60V and 5A. Must be Checked pin configurations before keeping them in the circuit and always use a suitable heatsink with the transistor, always use a suitable base resistor with the transistor, and do not store in the temperature below -65 centigrade and above +150 centigrade.
