MANUFACTURER PART RECORDTIP127
STMicroelectronicsTIP127 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.
