The TIP41C is a robust NPN transistor designed for general-purpose amplification and switching applications. Encased in a TO-220 package, it’s compatible with breadboards, dot boards, and PCBs, offering flexibility for various electronic projects. For secure mounting, pair it with an LED mount or heatsink to attach it to enclosures or casings. The transistor features a longer lead as the positive (collector) and a shorter lead as the negative (emitter), with the base controlling the current flow. When powered at 5V, it typically requires a 1k resistor to limit current, ensuring safe operation.
Key Features:
- Collector-Emitter Voltage: 100V
- Collector Current: 6A
- Power Dissipation: 65W
- Forward Voltage: 1.5V (max saturation)
- Size: TO-220 package
- Type: NPN
Applications of TIP41C NPN Transistor:
- Audio amplification circuits
- Switching high-power loads like relays and motors
- Indicator lights in electronic designs
- DIY projects and prototyping
For complementary designs, pair it with the TIP42C (PNP). Other variants like TIP41, TIP41A, and TIP41B are available for lower voltage needs.
