TIP41C

STMicroelectronics

TIP41C is STMicroelectronics’ 100 V NPN power transistor in TO-220 — 6 A continuous collector current, 65 W dissipation with a heatsink — for medium-power switching and linear stages: audio output stages, motor drivers, relay and high-power LED drivers, and series regulators. The ‘C’ suffix is the voltage grade — TIP41 (40 V), TIP41A (60 V), TIP41B (80 V), TIP41C (100 V) — same package and current rating across grades, so never substitute a lower grade into a 100 V rail design. Selection advice: the 65 W rating assumes an ideal heatsink; a bare TO-220 in still air handles roughly 2 W, so size the heatsink for your actual dissipation or the part will thermally run away. The complementary PNP is TIP42C (same 100 V / 6 A / TO-220) for push-pull and H-bridge stages — both are in this catalog. hFE of 15–75 is low, so budget real base current (several hundred milliamps at full load) or drive it from a Darlington stage. Not automotive-qualified; for automotive rails choose an AEC-Q101 power transistor instead. Active. Parameters trace to the manufacturer datasheet; state quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ — we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

TIP41C selection guidance

TIP41C is a NPN power 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.

Send the RFQ with the exact code TIP41C, the packing format (reel, tube, tray or cut tape), quantity and any lot or date-code needs. Nothing is quoted until manufacturer, suffix, package, date code and traceability are reconfirmed against the offered lot; every RFQ is answered within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

TIP41C FAQ

What do the suffixes in TIP41C mean?

Read the part number as an exact address, not a family name: every trailing character of TIP41C 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.

Can you provide traceability documents for TIP41C?

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 TIP41C and we will confirm exactly what the offered lot can support.

What ratings define the TIP41C selection?

This NPN power 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.

How do I request a quotation for TIP41C?

To request a quotation for TIP41C, send the full ordering code, manufacturer (STMicroelectronics), quantity, packing format and date-code needs in one RFQ. Every RFQ gets a reply within 24 hours.
