TIP31C Silicon NPN Power Transistor

Description

TIP31C is an NPN transistor. It is used as a simple switching device for medium power loads. It is one of the basic transistors which is easily available and cheap. To add on that, it has electrical characteristics suiting many applications. hence, fairly popular.Therefore, it is best suited when choosing a random switching device.

It is also used to amplify a signal. It has a fairly good amplifying factor and the important thing is gain is almost linear. Hence, one of best contender for amplifying applications.

In addition, the transistor can be controlled by microcontroller pulses. This is because of its gain and high speed response. So it can be used in high speed switching applications.
