TIP32C PNP Power Transistor – 3A 100V for General-Purpose Amplification & Switching
The TIP32C is a high-performance PNP power transistor designed for medium-power linear and switching applications. With a collector current of up to 3A and a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 100V, it is ideal for use in audio amplifiers, voltage regulators, motor drivers, and other general-purpose circuits.
Encased in a standard TO-220 package, the TIP32C offers excellent thermal performance, making it easy to mount on heatsinks for extended operation.
