Ex workshop spare parts drawers
A little bit "different" in that Motorola have Gold plated these legs, goodness knows why do this with a power device but there you go ...
TIP32A
MOTOROLA ELECTRONICS
Power Transistor
Ic 3A
Si PNP
Vce 60V
TESTING:
Being old stock, although unused, I made some basic tests of this transistor
All looks fine except I was a bit surprised at the measured hFE value, 194. The datasheets indicate these devices normally sit around 50, so this transistor has significantly higher current gain than "normal"
NEW Old Stock
Shiny, Golden coloured (Gold plated) leads
Now that this photograph has been taken, the device is once again back in a sealed clear plastic packet.
