Overview

The TIP42C is a bipolar made by DDF in a TO-220 package with 3 pins. TO-220 Bipolar (BJT) ROHS.

PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (Transistor_BJT:TIP42C, from KiCad's library) and its footprint (Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-220-3_Vertical, from KiCad's library), ready for a KiCad board. JLCPCB lists it (part C50229513).

Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the TIP42C?

Yes. The symbol is Transistor_BJT:TIP42C and the footprint Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-220-3_Vertical, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the TIP42C?

TO-220, with 3 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the TIP42C datasheet?

DDF publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the TIP42C?

JLCPCB lists it as part C50229513, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the TIP42C?

Parts like it in the library: the TIP41C by JSMSEMI, the TIP42C by STMicroelectronics, the TIP42C by JSMSEMI and the TIP41C by STMicroelectronics. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
