Content for TIP122

TIP122

The TIP122 is a Darlington pair NPN transistor. It functions like a normal NPN transistor, but since it has a Darlington pair inside it has a good collector current rating of about 5A and a gain of about 1000. It can also withstand about 100V across its collector- Emitter hence can be used to drive heavy loads.

Dummy electronic Load v2.0

“Previous version of electronic load was good, but it had a small power dissipation capacity and without proper enclosure or display. So I decided to make a newer one in a grander scale. I am hands-on with electronics, but mechanical …
