TIP31A transistor, NPN, 3 A, 60 V, TO-220, 3 pins
€1.40
Tax included
TIP31A NPN bipolar transistor, 3 A / 60 V, TO-220 through-hole package. Ideal for medium-power switching and amplification in your electronics projects.
The TIP31A is a powerful NPN bipolar junction transistor designed for switching and amplification applications. Housed in a three-pin TO-220 package, it handles a continuous collector current of up to 3 A and a collector-emitter voltage of 60 V.
Ideal for driving inductive loads (relays, solenoids), regulating DC motor speed, or serving as an output stage in linear power supplies. Its through-hole mounting makes it easy to integrate into breadboards or custom PCBs with appropriate heat sinking.
