The TIP126 is an NPN Darlington Power Transistor. It can switch loads up to 80V with a peak current of 8A and a continuous current of 5A. This makes it suitable for medium and high-power electronics like controlling motors, solenoids, or high-power LEDs.
Pin Configuration
| Pin Number | Pin Name | Description |
| 1 | Base | Controls the biasing of the transistor, Used to turn ON or OFF the transistor |
| 2 | Collector | Current flows in through the collector, normally connected to the load |
| 3 | Emitter | Current Drains out through emitter, normally connected to ground |
