Transistors act as powerful electronic switches, and when standard NPN transistors fall short, TIP120 Darlington transistors step in robustly. Ideal for controlling medium to high-power electronics, such as motors, solenoids, or 1W+ LEDs, these transistors are available in a pack of three for convenience.
Each TIP120 transistor serves as a general-purpose amplifier with a BCE pinout. It can handle up to 60V at peak currents of 8A and continuous currents of 5A, boasting a DC gain of approximately 1000. This makes it suitable for a range of applications where reliable switching and amplification are required.
The TIP120 is a versatile component sought after for projects involving more demanding electronic components. Its specifications allow for applications requiring strength, stability, and efficiency found in varying electronic environments. The accompanying datasheet provides further technical details to maximize its utility and integration into your electronic projects.
