TIP127

STMicroelectronics

TIP127 is an STMicroelectronics PNP silicon power Darlington transistor — 5 A collector current, 100 V collector-emitter voltage, minimum DC current gain of 1000 at 3 A, in TO-220, tube packing, junction temperature −65 to +150 °C. The Darlington gain of 1000 is the selection point: a microcontroller pin can switch multi-ampere PNP-side loads (high-side relays, lamps, DC motors, LED drivers) through a small base resistor, where a single PNP would need far more base drive. Selection advice: TIP127 is the PNP complement of the NPN TIP122 — use the pair for push-pull or H-bridge output stages. Watch the Darlington saturation voltage (up to 2 V at 3 A, 4 V at 5 A): budget that drop and fit a heatsink for continuous high-current loads, since the 65 W rating only holds at 25 °C case temperature with proper cooling. For lower saturation choose a P-channel MOSFET instead. ST lists TIP127 as Active. Evidence: ST TIP127 datasheet and official product page confirm 5 A, 100 V, hFE 1000, TO-220 and tube packing. Match the full TIP127 code. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

TIP127 selection guidance

TIP127 is a PNP Darlington transistor from STMicroelectronics in TO-220. Discrete selection is a ratings exercise: polarity, voltage, current and thermal limits at your worst-case point, with the ordering code fixing the exact qualified device.

Your inquiry for TIP127 should carry the precise part number, how many units, the packaging your assembly prefers, and any date-code restrictions. We cross-check the stocked batch on all five points — origin, suffix, housing, date code, paperwork — then quote. Replies go out within a day.

COMMON QUESTIONS

TIP127 FAQ

What do the suffixes in TIP127 mean?

Read the part number as an exact address, not a family name: every trailing character of TIP127 narrows it to one shippable item — the TO-220 package in the qualified grade and packing. A code that looks almost the same can be a different orderable unit, so transcribe the entire string from your BOM without guessing.

What is the difference between package and packing for TIP127?

Package and packing answer different questions for TIP127: the package (TO-220) is what gets soldered to your board, while packing is how the parts arrive at your line — reel, tube, tray or cut tape. Lots vary, so name the packing format you need in the RFQ and we confirm it against the offered lot.

What ratings define the TIP127 selection?

This PNP Darlington transistor part (TO-220) is selected on polarity, voltage and current ratings, thermal limits and package. Verify each rating in the STMicroelectronics datasheet at your worst-case operating point — same-series codes with different suffixes can carry different ratings.
