TIP30-BP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TIP30-BP is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications. It features a 40 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage rating and 1 A maximum collector current in a TO-220AB through-hole package. The TIP30-BP is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity. The part maintains ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TIP30-BP is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Criteria:

• Transistor polarity must remain PNP
• Package type must be TO-220-3 (TO-220AB supplier designation)
• Mounting type must be Through Hole
• Transition frequency must equal or exceed 3 MHz
• Operating temperature range must encompass the application requirements
• RoHS3 compliance must be maintained

Allowable Parameter Variations: Substitute parts may exceed the TIP30-BP specifications in the following parameters without affecting basic functionality:

• Maximum collector current (Ic)
• Maximum collector-emitter breakdown voltage (Vce breakdown)
• Maximum power dissipation (P max)
• DC current gain (hFE)

The TIP32C-BP qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria. It maintains identical package configuration, mounting type, and transition frequency while providing enhanced electrical ratings across all key parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TIP32C-BP as Primary Substitute:

The TIP32C-BP is the designated substitute for the obsolete TIP30-BP. Both components share identical mechanical packaging (TO-220-3), mounting methodology (through-hole), and transition frequency (3 MHz). Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and are manufactured by Micro Commercial Co.

The TIP32C-BP carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the Obsolete TIP30-BP. The substitute provides enhanced electrical performance with higher maximum collector current (3 A versus 1 A) and higher collector-emitter breakdown voltage (100 V versus 40 V). These elevated ratings ensure the TIP32C-BP operates within safe margins in applications originally designed for the TIP30-BP.

The TIP32C-BP is suitable for direct replacement in existing circuit designs where the TIP30-BP was specified, provided the application circuit topology does not depend on the specific power dissipation characteristics of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TIP32C-BP directly replace the TIP30-BP in all applications?

A: The TIP32C-BP is mechanically and electrically compatible for direct substitution in circuits designed for the TIP30-BP. Both components feature identical TO-220-3 packaging, through-hole mounting, and 3 MHz transition frequency. The TIP32C-BP provides higher current and voltage ratings, which do not create incompatibility in standard switching or amplification circuits.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the TIP30-BP?

A: The TIP30-BP is classified as Obsolete. The TIP32C-BP carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturing, availability, and supply chain support.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences between these parts?

A: Both the TIP30-BP and TIP32C-BP use the TO-220-3 package with identical through-hole mounting configuration. No pinout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the TIP30-BP and TIP32C-BP are ROHS3 compliant. Both maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these transistors?

A: The TIP32C-BP provides higher maximum collector current (3 A versus 1 A) and higher collector-emitter breakdown voltage (100 V versus 40 V). Both parts maintain identical transition frequency (3 MHz) and maximum operating temperature (150°C). These differences represent enhanced performance margins rather than functional incompatibility.

Q: Is the TIP32C-BP available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. The TIP32C-BP is supplied in TO-220AB format (TO-220-3 package designation), identical to the TIP30-BP. The TIP32C-BP is available in Tube packaging with 4568 pieces in current stock.
