Description: TIP32C PNP Power Transistor

A CLASS TIP32C TIP32 TIP 32 Transistor 100V 3A 40W PNP Transistor Bipolar BJT Silicon Power Transistor TO-220 Package 3 Pin Leads

TIP32C is another must have transistor in your electronics lab. It is a low cost power transistor that can serve many general purpose switching and amplification applications. The maximum load this transistor can handle is 3A and the maximum peak current it can handle is 5A, the peak current is the current the transistor cannot handle continuously but in pulses. The maximum load voltage limit is 100V. Other than that it can also serve as an amplifier, the max collector dissipation is 40W which also makes this transistor ideal to use in audio amplifier stages and also as separate amplifier to drive speaker. The metal can tab or the heatsink connection tab is also connected with the collector of the transistor.

Additionally if the load you are driving is under 40V or 80V then you can also use exact match transistors which are TIP32A, TIP32B, these are the exact same replacement but in lower voltages like TIP32A can drive loads under 60V and TIP32B can drive loads under 80V.

Where We Can Use it & How to Use

TIP32C can be used in many general applications. When used as a switch it is capable to drive 3A load therefore it can be used to drive DC motors, LEDs, relays, bulbs and also at the output of arduio, raspberry pi and other platforms. Other than that it can also be used for many general audio and other signal amplification requirements.
