TIP42B

onsemi · Bipolar Transistors - BJT · TO-220-3

TIP42B from onsemi, in a TO-220-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 Base input Base terminal of the PNP transistor; the datasheet gives a base current rating of -2 A (IB) as an absolute maximum.
2 Collector passive Collector terminal of the PNP transistor; the datasheet gives a collector current rating of -6 A DC and -10 A pulse (IC, ICP) as absolute maximums.
3 Emitter passive Emitter terminal of the PNP transistor; the datasheet gives an emitter-base voltage rating of -5 V (VEBO) as an absolute maximum.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: TIP42B
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-220-3_Vertical
  • 3D model: TO-220-3 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: tip42b-etched.step / tip42b-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); tip42b.step / tip42b.glb are the bare package body.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: onsemi datasheet (5 pp, sha256 6de79efcef19d13b, retrieved 2026-11-02, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: parts-factory 2.0.0 / extract_pins 0.3, primary claude-haiku-5-5 (text), consensus claude-sonnet-5-5 (agreed), guards: pin_guards 0.1: passed. Pins are checked against the footprint pad set and their cited datasheet pages before publish.
