TIP100G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TIP100G is an NPN Darlington bipolar junction transistor manufactured by onsemi, housed in a TO-220-3 package for through-hole mounting. This device is rated for 60 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and 8 A maximum collector current, with a maximum power dissipation of 2 W. The TIP100G is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute components for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while meeting current availability and compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TIP100G are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Transistor Type: NPN - Darlington configuration
• Current - Collector (Ic) (Max): 8 A minimum
• Vce Saturation (Max) @ Ib, Ic: 2.5 V @ 80mA, 8A
• Current - Collector Cutoff (Max): 50 µA maximum
• DC Current Gain (hFE) (Min) @ Ic, Vce: 1000 @ 3A, 4V minimum
• Power - Max: 2 W minimum
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 150°C (TJ)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-220-3
• Supplier Device Package: TO-220

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: Direct Manufacturer Substitutes (same manufacturer, active product status) and Similar Manufacturer Substitutes (alternative manufacturers, active product status). Parts with voltage ratings equal to or exceeding the TIP100G specification (60 V) are acceptable substitutes provided all other electrical and mechanical parameters remain within specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TIP102G (onsemi) is the primary direct substitute for the obsolete TIP100G. Both devices are manufactured by onsemi and share identical electrical characteristics including collector current (8 A), saturation voltage (2.5 V @ 80mA, 8A), current gain (1000 @ 3A, 4V), and power rating (2 W). The TIP102G features a higher voltage rating (100 V versus 60 V), which provides enhanced voltage margin in applications. The TIP102G maintains active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Both devices utilize the TO-220-3 package for through-hole mounting.

TIP102 (STMicroelectronics) is an alternative substitute from a different manufacturer. This device matches all critical electrical parameters with the TIP100G and TIP102G, including collector current, saturation voltage, current gain, and power rating. The TIP102 also features the 100 V voltage rating and TO-220-3 package configuration. STMicroelectronics TIP102 maintains active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The operating temperature specification for the STMicroelectronics variant lists 150°C (TJ) without the lower temperature bound explicitly stated in the provided data.

Both substitute parts are suitable for direct replacement in applications originally designed for the TIP100G, with the understanding that the higher voltage rating provides additional design margin. Selection between onsemi TIP102G and STMicroelectronics TIP102 depends on supply chain availability, procurement preferences, and manufacturer qualification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TIP102G directly replace the TIP100G in existing designs?

A: Yes. The TIP102G maintains electrical compatibility across all critical parameters: 8 A collector current, 2.5 V saturation voltage at rated current, 1000 minimum current gain, and 2 W power dissipation. Both devices use the TO-220-3 package. The TIP102G's higher voltage rating (100 V versus 60 V) does not create incompatibility; it provides additional voltage margin.

Q: What is the difference between TIP102G and TIP102?

A: Both devices share identical electrical specifications and the TO-220-3 package. TIP102G is manufactured by onsemi, while TIP102 is manufactured by STMicroelectronics. The primary difference is manufacturer origin. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

Q: Why does the TIP102G have a higher voltage rating than the TIP100G?

A: The TIP102G is rated for 100 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage compared to the TIP100G's 60 V rating. This higher voltage specification does not affect compatibility in applications designed for 60 V operation; it simply provides additional voltage headroom and design margin.

Q: Are there any package differences between the TIP100G and its substitutes?

A: No. The TIP100G, TIP102G, and TIP102 all use the TO-220-3 package for through-hole mounting. Pin configuration and mechanical dimensions are identical, enabling direct board-level substitution.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these substitute parts?

A: All three devices (TIP100G, TIP102G, and TIP102) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both substitute parts maintain the same regulatory compliance status as the original component.

Q: Is the TIP100G still available for procurement?

A: The TIP100G is classified as obsolete. Active substitutes (TIP102G and TIP102) are recommended for new designs and ongoing production. The TIP102G and TIP102 maintain active product status with current inventory availability.
