Overview

The TIP42 is a bipolar made by onsemi in a TO-220-3 package with 3 pins. 2W 30 3MHz 40V 6A 700uA PNP TO-220-3 Bipolar (BJT) ROHS.

PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (Transistor_BJT:TIP42, 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 C3200871). 26 open-source boards in 25 repositories on GitHub use it.

Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the TIP42?

Yes. The symbol is Transistor_BJT:TIP42 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 TIP42?

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

Where is the TIP42 datasheet?

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

Where can I order the TIP42?

JLCPCB lists it as part C3200871, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the TIP42?

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.

Which open-source boards use the TIP42?

26 boards in 25 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
