TIP120 NPN 5A Transistor

TIP120 NPN 5A Transistor

Transistors are powerful little electronic switches, and when the usual little NPN transistors aren’t powerful enough for your project, you can use these TIP120 Darlington transistors. Great for whenever you need to control medium to high-power electronics such as motors, solenoids, or 1W+ LEDs.

Each transistor is a general purpose amplifier, model TIP120 and has a BCE pinout. They can switch up to 60V at peak currents of 8A (not continuously, just peak!) and continuous current of 5A
