ON Semiconductor TIP31

Brief Description: The TIP31 is a NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It is a single-element, through-hole mounted device with a TO-220-3 package.

Features:

• DC current gain (hFE) minimum of 25
• Maximum collector current of 3A
• Maximum power dissipation of 2W
• Maximum breakdown voltage of 40V
• Operating temperature range of -65°C to 150°C
• Frequency range of 3MHz
• Gain bandwidth product of 3MHz
• Lead-free and non-RoHS compliant

Application Grade: The TIP31 is an obsolete product, which means it is no longer recommended for new designs. However, it may still be suitable for existing applications or as a replacement part for legacy systems.

Applications:
