The TIP120 transistor has a maximum voltage rating of 60V and a maximum current rating of 5A. This is a popular NPN Darlington transistor that is commonly used in a wide range of electronic circuits. This transistor is widely available and is commonly used in hobbyist and DIY electronic projects. However, there are also some limitations of the TIP120 transistor. It has a relatively slow switching speed compared to other transistors, which limits its use in high frequency applications. It also has a relatively high base current requirement, which can lead to higher power dissipation and heating. There is a preview and TIP120 download ( pdf file ) link at the bottom of this page.

Complementary power Darlington transistors
Features
■ Low collector-emitter saturation voltage
■ Complementary NPN - PNP transistors
Applications
■ General purpose linear and switching
Description
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.
