Tip36C – 25A 100V PNP Bipolar Power Transistor

Tip36C – 25A 100V PNP Bipolar Power Transistor

The TIP36C is a PNP bipolar power transistor manufactured using planar technology with a specific “base island” layout. This advanced manufacturing technique is central to the device’s construction, optimizing the internal semiconductor geometry to enhance its power handling capabilities and electrical efficiency. The design is focused on creating a robust and reliable component that serves as the perfect complement to its NPN counterpart.

This transistor is engineered to deliver a powerful combination of high current gain and very low saturation voltage. The exceptional high gain performance means it can control a large output collector current with a relatively smaller base current. The low collector-emitter saturation voltage is a critical feature, as it minimizes power loss and heat generation when the transistor is fully switched on, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the circuit it is used in.

Housed in a TO-247 package, this device is built for high-power applications where effective thermal management is essential. The robust package allows for significant power dissipation. The TIP36C is explicitly designed as the complementary PNP pair to the NPN TIP35C, enabling designers to construct symmetrical output stages, such as the Class B push-pull configurations found in high-quality audio power amplifiers.
