00:00Tip 41C vs Tip 42C, quick truth, they are not rivals, they are a matched pair.
00:06Tip 41C is NPN, Tip 42C is PNP, both 6A, 100V, 65W in a 2-220.
00:14If you build anything with a push-pull output, a motor driver, or an audio stage, you want both sitting
00:19in the same drawer.
00:21I went through the listings and pulled the 5 best deals on the pair.
00:25First pick, the Mix 10P slot at $2.55, and it has almost 4,900 sales with a perfect 5
00:32-star rating.
00:33You get Tip 31C, Tip 32C, Tip 41C, and Tip 42C, plus an LM317T voltage regulator and an IRF3205 MOSFET.
00:44That is the whole small signal-to-power chain in one bag for the price of a coffee.
00:48Best feature, you get the NPN-slash-PNP pair and the regulator without buying three separate listings.
00:55Second pick, $4.18 for 10 pieces, 4,700 sold, 5 stars.
01:02Same for transistors, but this listing adds the Darlington lineup, Tip 112, Tip 117, Tip 120, Tip 122, Tip 127.
01:12That matters, because Darlingtons have huge current gain, so you can drive a relay or a small motor straight off
01:17a microcontroller pin.
01:19Worth it if you want the Tip 41C-slash-Tip 42C pair and gain monsters in the same order.
01:26Third pick, the 35-piece kit at $8.51, 4,600 sold, 4.9 stars.
01:33This is the Bench restock option, Tip 31C, Tip 32C, Tip 41C, Tip 42C, Tip 122, Tip 127, Tip 142,
01:43all in 2-220.
01:45Best feature is sheer volume, 35 parts means you can burn a few while learning and still have spares.
01:50Buy this if you are tired of running out mid-project.
01:54Fourth pick, cheapest weigh-in, $2.08 for 10 Tip 41C, 4,500 sold, rated 4 stars.
02:02New original parts, 6A, 100V, 65W, nothing extra, nothing wasted.
02:09Best feature is the price per transistor, roughly 21 cents each.
02:13Perfect if you already have Tip 42C stock and just keep frying the NPN side.
02:19Fifth pick, $3.59 for 10 pieces, 4,300 sold, 5 stars, Tip 41C, Tip 42C, Tip 31C and Tip
02:2832C.
02:29Good buyers, good price, my only caution, the title calls them Darlingtons, and these 4 are standard bipolar, not Darlingtons.
02:37So double-check the markings when the bag lands.
02:41Worth buying anyway, the reviews back it.
02:44Links to all 5 are in the description below, cheapest first.

02:53Even if your vitamins are talentedΓgen?
02:54We're all in the μ΄λ¬ction moments, it connects almost any questions since volume.
02:54Thank you guys for it touft.
