Overview

The TIP120 is a darlington Transistor made by STMicroelectronics in a TO-220 package with 3 pins. 1000 2.5V 200uA 2V@3A,12mA 5A 5V 60V NPN TO-220 Darlington Transistors ROHS.

PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (Transistor_BJT:TIP120, from KiCad's library) and its footprint (Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-220-3_Vertical, from KiCad's library), ready for a KiCad board. 381 are in stock at JLCPCB (part C262990).

Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the TIP120?

Yes. The symbol is Transistor_BJT:TIP120 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 TIP120?

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

Where is the TIP120 datasheet?

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

Where can I order the TIP120?

JLCPCB lists it as part C262990, with 381 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the TIP120?

Parts like it in the library: the TIP100 by Texas Instruments, the TIP127 by Slkor, the TIP112 PBFREE by Central Semicon and the BDW93 by onsemi. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
