Replacement for TIP36 transistor
« on: April 09, 2019, 10:32:41 pm »
The replacement issue is not too difficult to resolve however I am looking for a TIP36 like transistor with a lower beta than tip36.

In fact I am presently using  TIP36 however I am looking for similarly specced transistor with a beta of 15 to 20 at collector current of 10 amps.

BD250 seems like a suitable candidate unfortunately it is obsolete.

EDIT: obsolete according to some suppliers , element14 claims 600 odd pieces world wide.
Element14 offers a Multicomp device which is different to some older sources... back to square one.

Alltransistors.com is helpful. Search on TIP36, > 'find substitute', > search again results (after changing parameters desired).
Here is similar devices, (without limiting results to a TO218 case) scroll down - there's a big list. - Hope that helps!

Why wouldn't you just put a resistor across the BE junction?

That is wha I have done. Effectively a 2.5 ohm resistor did the trick.
