TIP32C

STMicroelectronics

ST lists TIP32C as ACTIVE (in volume production) — a silicon epitaxial-base PNP power transistor, TO-220 package, whose complementary NPN is the TIP31C. The C voltage grade is the selection point: the TIP32 family spans grades with different voltage ratings in the same TO-220 package, so match the full TIP32C code — a lower-grade sibling is visually identical. Selection advice: for push-pull output stages, pair with the TIP31C from the same manufacturer to keep the complementary pair matched. Verify collector voltage and current against the C-grade ratings with thermal margin, and plan heatsinking. Parameters verified against the ST official product page. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

TIP32C selection guidance

TIP32C is an STMicroelectronics PNP power transistor in TO-220 — 100 V VCEO/VCBO, 3 A continuous collector current, 40 W power dissipation, VCE(sat) 1.2 V maximum at 3 A, hFE 10 minimum at 3 A, 3 MHz transition frequency, -65 °C to +150 °C junction. The complementary NPN is TIP31C.

Against TIP42C: same voltage and package with half the current rating (3 A / 40 W vs 6 A / 65 W) — step up to the TIP42C if the load outgrows 3 A. This is a multi-vendor classic part, so match the manufacturer named on your BOM and confirm that manufacturer's current lifecycle status before committing production volumes. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

TIP32C FAQ

What do the suffixes in TIP32C mean?

Every suffix in a manufacturer ordering code identifies one exact orderable device — package, temperature grade, packing format or a revision. TIP32C names the TO-220 configuration; a code that differs by even one suffix character may be a different device. Always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.

What is the difference between package and packing for TIP32C?

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 TIP32C?

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 TIP32C?

Start with one RFQ for TIP32C: complete ordering code, STMicroelectronics as manufacturer, quantity, packing and date-code requirements. We confirm the offered lot against all of them and reply within 24 hours.
