NPN POWER Darlington TRA.100V 8A TIP102
The TIP102 NPN Darlington Power Transistor is a high-current switching and amplification transistor in a rugged TO-220 package. It handles a collector-emitter voltage of 100V, continuous collector current of 8A, and operates up to 150°C, with a high DC current gain (hFE) of 200. Ideal for motor control, power amplifiers, relay driving, audio circuits, and high-current switching applications with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers needing high-current load drivers.

The TIP102 is an NPN Darlington power transistor designed for medium-power switching and linear amplification applications. Built into a robust TO-220 through-hole package, this transistor combines two cascaded NPN transistors in a single device, delivering a very high current gain (hFE) of approximately 200 with minimal base drive — making it easy to control directly from a microcontroller or low-current logic source.
With a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 100V and a continuous collector current rating of 8A, the TIP102 is well suited for driving inductive and resistive loads such as DC motors, solenoids, relays, lamps, and high-power LEDs. It features a low collector cut-off current of just 0.05 mA and a maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage of 2.5V, providing efficient switching characteristics across a wide operating range.
The TIP102 is the NPN complement to the TIP107 PNP, and the two are commonly paired in complementary push-pull output stages for audio power amplifiers and H-bridge motor driver circuits. Its high gain also makes it ideal for logic-level interfacing, where weak signals from microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP32 must switch large currents reliably.
The transistor operates over a wide temperature range from −65°C up to +150°C, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial, automotive, and consumer applications.
