TIP122

STMicroelectronics

TIP122 is an STMicroelectronics NPN silicon power Darlington transistor — 5 A collector current, 100 V collector-emitter voltage, minimum DC current gain of 1000, in TO-220, tube packing, junction temperature to 150 °C. The Darlington gain of 1000 is the selection point: a microcontroller pin can switch multi-ampere loads (DC motors, solenoids, relays, lamps) through a small base resistor, where a single BJT would need far more base drive. Selection advice: Darlington saturation voltage reaches up to 4 V at 5 A — budget that voltage drop and the resulting heat, and fit a heatsink for continuous high-current loads. The PNP complement is the TIP127 for push-pull or H-bridge designs; for lower saturation choose a MOSFET instead. ST lists TIP122 as Active. Evidence: ST TIP122 datasheet and distributor listings confirm 5 A, 100 V, hFE 1000, TO-220 and tube packing. Match the full TIP122 code.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

TIP122 selection guidance

STMicroelectronics qualifies TIP122 as one NPN Darlington transistor in TO-220 — one set of voltage, current and thermal ratings. Size it at your worst-case operating point and order the exact code.

A quotable RFQ for TIP122 names four things: the complete ordering code, the packing format your line needs, quantity, and date-code or lot requirements. We verify each of them against the actual offered lot before quoting commercially, and we reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

TIP122 FAQ

What do the suffixes in TIP122 mean?

The suffixes in TIP122 are not decoration — each one pins down the orderable configuration: TO-220 package plus the grade and packing the code was qualified for. Treat any code that differs by a single suffix character as a different device and quote the full code exactly as printed on your BOM.

What is the difference between package and packing for TIP122?

The package (TO-220) is the physical form of the device itself. Packing describes how the devices are delivered — reel, tube, tray or cut tape. The same ordering code can ship in different packing formats depending on the lot, so confirm the required packing format when you submit your RFQ.

Can you provide traceability documents for TIP122?

Traceability evidence — lot and date-code information, labels and photos — is confirmed per lot at quotation time, because it depends on the actual lot offered. Tell us which documents your receiving inspection requires when you submit the RFQ, and we will confirm what can be provided for the offered lot.

How do I request a quotation for TIP122?

Add TIP122 to your RFQ with the complete ordering code, the manufacturer (STMicroelectronics), your quantity, the target packing format and any date-code requirements. We reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
