With 65W power dissipation, it is suitable for audio amplifier output stages and power switching applications. The hFE of 15-75 at -300mA indicates moderate gain, typical of power transistors; Darlington configurations or higher base drive current are needed for high-current switching. The TIP42C is the direct complement to the TIP41C NPN transistor, enabling push-pull amplifier and H-bridge motor driver circuits. The -100V rating provides adequate margin for split +\/-40V audio amplifier supplies. For higher gain, the TIP142\/TIP147 Darlington pairs offer hFE > 1000 at similar current ratings.","working_principle":"The TIP42C is a silicon PNP epitaxial-base power transistor. Current flows from emitter to collector, controlled by base current flowing out of the base. The base-emitter junction requires approximately -0.65V forward bias (emitter more positive than base). For saturation at -3A collector current with hFE(min)=15, the required base current is 3A\/15 = 200mA. In push-pull audio amplifiers, the TIP41C (NPN) conducts during the positive output half-cycle and the TIP42C (PNP) conducts during the negative half-cycle. Bias circuits set the quiescent current to eliminate crossover distortion. The TO-220 package tab is connected to the collector, requiring an insulating washer when mounting to a grounded heatsink.","pin_description":"<table><tr><th>Pin<\/th><th>Name<\/th><th>Function<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>1<\/td><td>Base<\/td><td>Control input (pull below emitter to turn on)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>Collector<\/td><td>Current flows out (tab connected to collector)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>Emitter<\/td><td>Current flows in (connect to VCC for high-side)<\/td><\/tr><\/table>","application_scenarios":"<ul><li>Push-pull audio amplifier output stage paired with TIP41C NPN complement<\/li><li>High-current PNP switching for power supply pass transistor at -6A<\/li><li>H-bridge motor driver using TIP41C\/TIP42C complementary pairs<\/li><li>Negative voltage regulation pass transistor for -100V rated supply<\/li><\/ul>","alternative_models":"<table><tr><th>Model<\/th><th>Manufacturer<\/th><th>Key Difference<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>TIP41C<\/td><td>onsemi<\/td><td>NPN complement, +100V, +6A<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>TIP147<\/td><td>onsemi<\/td><td>PNP Darlington, -100V, -10A, hFE>1000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>BD140<\/td><td>onsemi<\/td><td>PNP, -80V, -1.5A, lower power<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MJE2955T<\/td><td>onsemi<\/td><td>PNP, -60V, -10A, higher current<\/td><\/tr><\/table>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6644\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6644"},{"taxonomy":"chip_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chip_brand?post=6644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
