- 2SA1943 PNP and 2SC5200 NPN are audio power transistors that have a large current capability (IC = 15A) and a high transition frequency (typically fT = 30 MHz), making them ideal for use in applications amplifier audio output high fidelity (Hi-Fi Audio Power Amplifier Output) powered 100 Watt RMS.
- The 2SC5200 transistor is a PNP power transistor with the same characteristics as the 2SC5200. They are used together in amplifier circuits in a push-pull configuration because their specifications are similar and complementary.
- Complementary transistors can also be used in Darlington Pair configuration for amplifier applications (general purpose amplifier) up to PD (max) = 150 Watt DC (at 25 ° C, decreasing linearly by 1,04W per degree of temperature increase). The 2SA1943 and 2SC5200 have typical collector terminal capacitances ranging from 360 pF to 200 pF.
- NPN transistors are those that have one p-type material sandwiched between two n-type materials. The NPN transistor amplifies the weak signal that enters the base and generates high-amplitude signals at the collector end.
- In an NPN transistor, an electron moves from the emitter to the collector region, causing current to flow through the transistor. This type of transistor is commonly used in circuits because its majority charge carriers are electrons, which have higher mobility than holes.
