Texas Instruments Power (TIP)

Texas Instruments power, known more popularly by its acronym, TIP is series of bipolar junction transistors manufactured by Texas Instruments.[1] The series was introduced in 1969, and still sees some use today due to their simplicity, their durability, and their ease of use.[2]

Specific models

TIP29 and TIP30

The TIP29 and TIP30 are complementary transistors, used in medium power linear switching applications.[3] The TIP29 is NPN, while the TIP30 is PNP. One of their uses was in general purpose amplifiers.[4]

TIP31

A TIP31 is complementary to a TIP32 PNP bipolar transistor. TIP31 transistors are designated as TIP31A, TIP31B, TIP31 to indicate increasing collector-base and collector-emitter breakdown voltage ratings. The TIP31 is packaged in a TO-220 case. TIP stands for Texas Instruments (Plastic) Power [5] transistor. 31 is an arbitrary identifier.[6]

Ratings

These ratings are for the Fairchild TIP31 series. Other manufacturers may have other ratings for this part. These are absolute maximum ratings and should not be exceeded.

Model Vcb Vce Ice Power (Tc = 25 °C)
TIP31 40 40 3A 40W
TIP31A 60 60 3A 40W
TIP31B 80 80 3A 40W
TIP31C 100 100 3A 40W

These characteristics apply to all types of TIP31 transistors (A, B, C). The characteristics are very similar between models, however differences may apply depending on temperature and/or manufacturing process.

TIP33 and TIP34

Complimentary silicon transistors for use in high power general purpose amplifier and switching applications. The TIP33 is NPN and the TIP34 is PNP.[10]

TIP35 and TIP36

The two transistors are complimentary silicon transistors, the TIP35 being NPN configured, while the TIP36 is PNP.[11][12]
