TIP32C is another must have transistor in your electronics lab. It is a low cost power transistor that can serve many general purpose switching and amplification applications. The maximum load this transistor can handle is 3A and the maximum peak current it can handle is 5A, the peak current is the current the transistor cannot handle continuously but in pulses. The maximum load voltage limit is 100V. Other than that it can also serve as an amplifier, the max collector dissipation is 40W which also makes this transistor ideal to use in audio amplifier stages and also as separate amplifier to drive speaker. The metal can tab or the heatsink connection tab is also connected with the collector of the transistor.
