TIP152-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The TIP152-S (Bourns Inc.) is a Bipolar (BJT) Transistor, NPN Darlington type, rated for 400 V and 7 A collector current, packaged in TO-220 and compliant with ROHS3. As this model is currently listed as obsolete, it is necessary to identify compatible alternative transistors within the same category, ensuring continuity in designs that require similar electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Alternative transistors are grouped strictly by matching the following key parameters: transistor type (NPN - Darlington), collector-emitter breakdown voltage, maximum collector current, Vce saturation, DC current gain, package/case (TO-220-3), mounting type (through hole), and compliance with RoHS3 standards. Only parts meeting all listed criteria from the input data are considered acceptable substitutes for the TIP152-S in designs requiring equivalence in function and fit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of substitute parts for TIP152-S must prioritize: product status (TIP152-S is obsolete; substitutes are active), RoHS3 compliance, and package type (TO-220 through-hole). Both MJE5742G and ST901T meet RoHS3 compliance and are available in TO-220-3 packages. They are listed as active and suitable for continued design use within these criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the mandatory electrical characteristics to consider for substituting TIP152-S in Bipolar (BJT) circuits?
A1: Substitution requires matching transistor type (NPN Darlington), collector current (Ic max), collector-emitter voltage rating (Vce breakdown max), and ensuring the package/case (TO-220-3) and mounting (through-hole) are identical.

Q2: Are all substitute transistors guaranteed to fit mechanically in the same socket as TIP152-S?
A2: All substitute transistors listed (MJE5742G, ST901T) feature the TO-220-3 package and through-hole mounting type, providing mechanical compatibility for direct replacement.

Q3: How do RoHS3 compliance and certification affect substitute part selection?
A3: Substitute transistors must be RoHS3 compliant to meet environmental and regulatory requirements. Both listed substitutes for TIP152-S fulfill this condition.

Q4: What is the importance of product status when selecting a replacement for TIP152-S?
A4: TIP152-S is obsolete; only substitute transistors with active product status are suitable for ongoing designs and production.

Q5: How are the differences in collector current, voltage, and other key parameters handled for direct substitution?
A5: Only replacement transistors strictly matching the specified key parameters in the permitted ranges provided are eligible as substitutes, ensuring electrical compatibility for equivalent performance.
