TIP32C Replacement and Equivalent

TIP32C transistor nearest possible equivalents are CJF32C, TIP32D, BD582, BD592, BDT32C 2N6475 2N6476, 2SB1016, MJE30C, MJE32C, MJE5195, NSP582, NSP5195, RCA30C, RCA32C, TIP62A, TIP62B, TIP62C, 2SB761B, 2SB762B, 2SB860, 2SB869, 2SB945, BD242C, BD540C, BD954, ECG292.

 

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 TIP32C & 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 Arduino, raspberry pi, and other platforms. Other than that it can also be used for much general audios and other signal amplification requirements.

 

How to Safely Long Run TIP32C in a Circuit

HTo get long-life performance from the TIP32C transistor, do not drive load more than 3A and 100V (The rule of thumb is always stay 20% below the maximum ratings). Always use a suitable heatsink, the collector is also connected with the metal tab therefore care must be taken when using in your design or circuit that the metal tab would not touch any other connection or else it can short or damage the transistor. And always store or operate in temperature between -65 centigrade to +150 centigrade.

 

TIP32C Applications

  • Separate Audio Amplifier
  • Audio Amplifier Stages
  • For Handling 3A Load
  • DC Motors Driver and Controller
  • Darlington Pairs
  • Output of Arduino, Raspberry Pi and other Electronic Platforms

Note: Please check their parameters and pin configuration before replacing them in your circuit.

 

TIP32C FAQ

① What is the work of PNP transistor?

The PNP transistor is a type of transistor in which one n-type material is doped with two p-type materials. It is a device that is controlled by the current. Both the emitter and collector currents were controlled by the small amount of base current. Two crystal diodes are connected back-to-back in the PNP transistor.

 

② Can I use TIP31C instead of TIP32C?

In such a case the output of the sensor is normally low and becomes high when the hand is detected so in such a case you will have to use a NPN transistor like TIP31C instead of TIP32C.

 

③ Where are PNP transistors used?

PNP transistors are used in amplification circuits. PNP transistors are used in Darlington pair circuits. PNP transistors are used in robotic applications. PNP transistors to control current flow in heavy applications.

 

④ What is the function of TIP32C transistor?

The TIP32 is a PNP Power transistor. Since it has high collector current of about 2A it can be used for Power switching or large signal amplification. The transistor is mainly known for its high amplification capacity since 2A is not much of a higher capacity.

 

⑤ What is the operating junction temperature of tip32c?

Operating Junction Temperature (Tj): 150 °C
