Tip: Data for a part may vary between manufacturers. You can filter for manufacturers on the top of the page next to the part image and part number.
TIP41CTU by onsemi is a Power Bipolar Transistor.
Power Bipolar Transistors are under the broader part category of Transistors.
A transistor is a small semiconductor device used to amplify, control, or create electrical signals. When selecting a transistor, factors such as voltage, current rating, gain, and power dissipation must be considered, with common types.

This table gives cross-reference parts and alternative options found for TIP41CTU. The Form Fit Function (FFF) tab will give you the options that are more likely to serve as direct pin-to-pin alternates or drop-in parts. The Functional Equivalents tab will give you options that are likely to match the same function of TIP41CTU, but it may not fit your design. Always verify details of parts you are evaluating, as these parts are offered as suggestions for what you are looking for and are not guaranteed.

The maximum SOA for the TIP41CTU is not explicitly stated in the datasheet, but it can be estimated based on the device's thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature. A safe operating area can be assumed to be around 10A/100V.
To ensure linear operation, the TIP41CTU should be biased in the active region, with a base-emitter voltage (Vbe) between 0.6V to 0.8V and a collector-emitter voltage (Vce) greater than 1V. The base current should be limited to prevent saturation.
The recommended heatsink for the TIP41CTU depends on the application and power dissipation requirements. A heatsink with a thermal resistance of around 10°C/W or lower is recommended. The heatsink should also be designed to accommodate the transistor's package dimensions and thermal interface material.
Yes, the TIP41CTU can be used in switching applications, but it's not optimized for high-frequency switching. The transistor's switching characteristics, such as rise and fall times, should be considered when designing the circuit. A faster switching transistor may be more suitable for high-frequency applications.
To protect the TIP41CTU from ESD, handle the device by the body or use an anti-static wrist strap. Ensure the workspace and equipment are grounded, and use ESD-protective packaging and storage materials. Avoid touching the device's pins or leads, and use a soldering iron with an anti-static tip.
