TIP31C

STMicroelectronics

ST lists TIP31C as ACTIVE (in volume production) — an NPN silicon power bipolar transistor, TO-220 plastic package, for audio, power linear and switching applications. The C voltage grade is the selection point: the TIP31 family spans A/B/C grades with different VCEO ratings in the same TO-220 package, so a lower-grade sibling looks identical but will fail at higher rail voltages. Selection advice: the complementary PNP is the TIP32C — for push-pull output stages, source both from the same manufacturer to keep the pair matched. Verify your collector voltage and current against the C-grade ratings with thermal margin, and plan heatsinking for the TO-220 package. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

TIP31C selection guidance

STMicroelectronics qualifies TIP31C as one NPN power 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.

When you request a quote, include the full ordering code, the target packing format (reel, tube, tray or cut tape), your quantity and any date-code or lot requirements. We reconfirm manufacturer, suffix, package, date code and traceability against the actual offered lot before any commercial quote is issued, and every RFQ gets a reply within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

TIP31C FAQ

What do the suffixes in TIP31C mean?

STMicroelectronics part numbers are precise by design. In TIP31C, the suffix block locks the TO-220 housing, the temperature grade and the reel or tray format into a single orderable identity. When a code differs by one letter, verify before substituting — quote the BOM string verbatim.

Can you provide traceability documents for TIP31C?

We confirm traceability against the actual offered lot: lot and date-code details, labels and photos are checked at quotation time, not assumed. Put your receiving-inspection document list in the RFQ for TIP31C and we will confirm exactly what the offered lot can support.

What is the difference between package and packing for TIP31C?

Package and packing answer different questions for TIP31C: 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.

How do I request a quotation for TIP31C?
