The TIP147 is a PNP Darlington power transistor designed for high-current and high-voltage switching and amplification applications. Being a Darlington pair, it effectively combines two transistors in a single package, providing a very high current gain (hFE) while maintaining robust voltage and current handling. This makes the TIP147 ideal for power regulation, motor control, and audio amplification circuits.

Description
The Darlington Bipolar Power Transistor is designed for general purpose amplifier and low frequency switching applications. TIP145, TIP146, TIP147, (PNP) are complementary devices. Complementary silicon power Darlington transistors manufactured by the epitaxial base process, designed for general purpose amplifier and low speed switching applications where high gain is required. The devices are manufactured in planar technology with “base island” layout and monolithic Darlington configuration. The resulting transistors show exceptional high gain performance coupled with very low saturation voltage.
