TIP32C Pinout

TIP32C Pinout Diagram

The TIP32C is a PNP power transistor commonly used for switching and amplification purposes. Its pinout consists of three main terminals:

This layout is typical for PNP transistors, where the current flows from the emitter to the collector when activated by a small current at the base. The TIP32C is often used in power amplification and switching circuits due to its high current handling capacity.

TIP32C Equivalent

This is a table of TIP32 equivalents, they are all PNP type bipolar transistors, most of which are used in power amplifiers, switching power supplies and driving LEDs, etc.

Picture	Name	Makers	Maximum Power	Maximum Current	Maximum Voltage	Package Type
	TIP32C	ST/Texas Instruments	40W	3A	100V	TO-220
	2SB1016	Toshiba Corporation	40W	3A	100V	TO-220
	BD242C	STMicroelectronics	40W	3A	100V	TO-220
	BDX34C	STMicroelectronics	40W	3A	100V	TO-220
	2SA1943	Toshiba	40W	3A	140V	TO-220
	2N2222	ON Semiconductor	0.8W	0.8A	40V	TO-220

NOTE:

Since the maximum voltage, current and power of the 2N2222 is less than that of the TIP32C, special care should be taken when replacing it. It is necessary to check that the actual current, voltage and power in the circuit are greater than 0.8A, 40V and 0.8W.
