Equivalent & Substitute Parts for TIPL760C-S

Part Overview

The TIPL760C-S (Bourns Inc.) is an NPN Darlington bipolar junction transistor (BJT) with key electrical ratings of 550 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage, 4 A maximum collector current, and 75 W maximum power dissipation. It is housed in a TO-220 package and is designed for through-hole mounting. This product is currently classified as obsolete, which necessitates the identification of alternative BJTs with equivalent or similar parameters to ensure continuity in designs where the TIPL760C-S was originally specified.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are selected from the same component category—Transistors, Bipolar (BJT)—and are NPN transistors with similar collector-emitter voltage ratings, collector current, power dissipation capabilities, and package type (TO-220). Substitution strictly considers:

  • Transistor Type
  • Maximum Collector Current (Ic)
  • Maximum Collector-Emitter Breakdown Voltage (Vce)
  • Power Dissipation (Pmax)
  • Package/Case and Mounting Type
  • RoHS and environmental compliance status
  • Supplier Device Package

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TIPL760C-S is obsolete, making continued supply difficult. As a substitute, the BUL58D (STMicroelectronics) meets RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity (MSL 1). Both models share the TO-220-3 package, through-hole mounting, and an ECCN of EAR99. Selection should consider these equivalences in compliance documentation and environmental status per application requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Which key parameters must be matched when selecting a substitute for TIPL760C-S?
A1: Substitute selection is based on transistor type, maximum collector current (Ic), maximum collector-emitter breakdown voltage (Vce), power rating, package/case type, and environmental compliance.

Q2: Are TO-220-3 package devices directly compatible with the TIPL760C-S footprint?
A2: Yes, devices with the TO-220-3 package and through-hole mounting are compatible with the TIPL760C-S mechanical footprint.

Q3: Does the BUL58D cover all electrical parameters of the TIPL760C-S?
A3: The BUL58D matches the key parameters such as the through-hole TO-220 package, comparable collector current, and power rating. Collector-emitter breakdown voltage differs.

Q4: How is RoHS compliance addressed in substitute selection?
A4: Both TIPL760C-S and BUL58D are ROHS3 Compliant and have MSL 1 (unlimited), ensuring conformity to standard environmental requirements.

Q5: How does product status affect part selection?
A5: The obsolete status of TIPL760C-S necessitates finding active substitutes like the BUL58D to ensure ongoing availability and supply chain stability.
