TIP30C-BP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TIP30C-BP is a Bipolar (BJT) Transistor with PNP configuration, rated for 100 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and 1 A maximum collector current. Manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, this component is packaged in TO-220AB through-hole format and is currently classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and repair applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TIP30C-BP is determined by the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Transistor Type: PNP configuration required
Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown: Minimum 100 V
Package / Case: TO-220-3 form factor
Mounting Type: Through Hole
RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

Frequency - Transition: 3 MHz or higher
Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass application requirements
Current - Collector (Ic) (Max): Must meet or exceed circuit requirements

The TIP32C-BP qualifies as a substitute part based on matching the primary substitution criteria. Both components share identical voltage ratings, package configurations, mounting types, and RoHS compliance status. The transition frequency and operating temperature ranges are compatible with the original specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TIP32C-BP is available as an active product from Micro Commercial Co with confirmed inventory of 4568 pieces in stock, whereas the TIP30C-BP is classified as obsolete. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical voltage ratings of 100 V collector-emitter breakdown.

The TIP32C-BP provides higher maximum collector current (3 A versus 1 A) and identical transition frequency (3 MHz). The substitute part operates within the same TO-220-3 package and through-hole mounting configuration, ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing PCB designs.

The TIP32C-BP is supplied in tube packaging format. Both components share identical collector cutoff current specifications (300µA) and are manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring consistent quality and reliability standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TIP32C-BP directly replace the TIP30C-BP in all applications?

A: The TIP32C-BP shares the same voltage rating (100 V), package type (TO-220-3), and mounting configuration (through-hole) as the TIP30C-BP. Both are PNP transistors with identical transition frequency (3 MHz) and collector cutoff current (300µA). The substitute part is suitable for applications where the circuit design accommodates the higher maximum collector current rating (3 A).

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are maximum collector current (TIP30C-BP: 1 A; TIP32C-BP: 3 A), maximum power dissipation (TIP30C-BP: 30 W; TIP32C-BP: 2 W), DC current gain at rated current (TIP30C-BP: 40 @ 200mA; TIP32C-BP: 10 @ 3A), and Vce saturation voltage (TIP30C-BP: 700mV @ 1A; TIP32C-BP: 1.2V @ 3A). The TIP30C-BP is obsolete while the TIP32C-BP is an active product.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both the TIP30C-BP and TIP32C-BP are ROHS3 compliant. Both components carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.29.0095) classifications. The TIP32C-BP includes REACH Unaffected status documentation.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitute part?

A: The TIP32C-BP is supplied in tube packaging. The original TIP30C-BP packaging format is not specified in the available documentation.

Q: Is the operating temperature range identical between these parts?

A: The TIP30C-BP specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C (TJ). The TIP32C-BP specifies a maximum junction temperature of 150°C (TJ). Applications requiring operation below 0°C require circuit-level evaluation.
