TIP41C (NPN)
TIP41C is a low cost general purpose power transistor that can be used for amplification and switching purposes in your electronic circuits. It can drive maximum 6 ampere of load. It can be a perfect transistor if you are looking to replace a TIP31, TIP31C or other similar transistors in your circuit design to drive more load. For driving loads a suitable heatsink should be used with this transistor. The maximum collector-emitter voltage and collector-base voltage is 100V due to which you can use it to drive maximum 100V of load. Moreover the maximum collector dissipation is 65W which is an ideal output to use this transistor for many types of audio amplification purposes. The collector of the transistor is connected with two points one is pin2 of the transistor and other is the metal can tab of the transistor.
Where We Can Use it & How to Use
The TIP41C can be used in any general purpose switching and amplification application. When using as a switch you can drive many loads at the same time (The sum of all load should not increase from 6A). It can drive DC motors, high power LEDs, high power relays, bulbs, devices etc.
Moreover it can also be used for general purpose amplification purposes. For example signal amplification, It can also be used to build a simple high power amplifier circuit or other than that it can also be used in high power audio amplifier stages.
