This image is a side-by-side comparison reference of two common power semiconductor components, apparently saved for a Subaru tach-adapter / coil-on-plug conversion project. The left panel, sourced from www.componentsinfo.com, shows the TIP120 NPN Darlington transistor pinout in a TO-220 package: pin 1 is Base, pin 2 is Collector, and pin 3 is Emitter. It includes the internal circuit diagram showing the two-transistor Darlington configuration with internal base-emitter resistors and a collector-emitter diode, plus the schematic symbol with the same pin numbering. The right panel shows the IRLZ44N N-channel logic-level power MOSFET, with its schematic symbol (Gate, Drain, Source and internal body diode) and key specifications: drain-source voltage VDSS = 55V, on-resistance RDS(on) = 0.022Ω, and continuous drain current ID = 47A, in a TO-220AB package with the International Rectifier (IOR) logo. A reader can learn the correct pin identification for the TIP120, its Darlington internal structure, and the headline electrical ratings and package style of the IRLZ44N, allowing comparison of the two devices for switching applications such as tachometer signal drivers or ignition-related circuits.
