TIP36C-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

TIP36C-S is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by Bourns Inc., categorized under Transistors, Bipolar (BJT). It features 100 V collector-emitter voltage, 25 A collector current, and is housed in a SOT-93 (TO-218-3) through-hole package. The part is currently classified as obsolete, which necessitates the search for direct alternatives to maintain system design continuity and inventory sustainability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Based on Obsolete status for TIP36C-S and ROHS3 compliance requirements, TIP36CG can be selected as a substitute. TIP36CG is Active and meets all regulatory and status requirements specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What parameters are mandatory for substituting TIP36C-S in a circuit?
A1: Substitution must be done with a part matching Transistor Type (PNP), Collector Current (25 A), Collector-Emitter Breakdown Voltage (100 V), Saturation Voltage, Collector Cutoff Current, Minimum DC Current Gain, Mounting Type, and package category. Regulatory compliance, such as ROHS3, is also required.

Q2: Is the package type of the substitute identical to TIP36C-S?
A2: TIP36C-S uses TO-218-3 (SOT-93), while TIP36CG uses TO-247-3. Both support through-hole mounting, but mechanical compatibility should be checked for layout differences.

Q3: Does TIP36CG offer similar electrical performance relative to TIP36C-S?
A3: TIP36CG matches all principal electrical ratings: Transistor Type, Collector Current, Collector-Emitter Voltage, Cutoff Current, Saturation Voltage, Operating Temperature, and has higher DC Current Gain and Power.

Q4: Can the substitute be used in new designs for regulatory-compliant products?
A4: Yes, TIP36CG is ROHS3 Compliant and Active in the category.

Q5: What inventory status should be considered when selecting substitutes?
A5: Obsolete components should be replaced by active parts. TIP36CG is currently active and in stock according to provided parameters.
