Application Scenarios & Design Considerations

General Purpose Amplifier and Switching Applications

Alternative Part Number

  • 2N6107 --: PNP power transistor with comparable 60V/8A ratings and TO-220 package, widely available and a common substitute for TIP42C in switching and linear applications.
  • MJE2955T --: PNP power transistor rated 60V/10A in TO-220, offering similar or better current capability and pin-compatible replacement for TIP42C.
  • BD242C --: PNP power transistor with 100V/3A ratings in TO-220, suitable for lower-current TIP42C applications where higher voltage margin is beneficial.
  • 2N6111 --: PNP power transistor with comparable current and voltage ratings, widely available and often used as a substitute in general-purpose switching and amplifier circuits.
