2SA817 PNP Audio Driver Transistor - Toshiba TO-92

The 2SA817 is a PNP silicon epitaxial transistor from Toshiba, originally developed for driver stages in mid-power audio frequency amplifiers. Its combination of high current gain and a solid 80V breakdown voltage makes it a reliable choice for repairing vintage audio equipment or building small driver/pre-driver stages in DIY amplifier projects.

Functions & Applications

  • High Breakdown Voltage: Vceo of -80V provides safety margin in audio amplifier driver stages.
  • Wide hFE Range: Current gain from 70 up to 240 depending on the grading (O or Y), suitable for driver and pre-driver applications.
  • Audio Frequency Optimized: Suitable for driver of 20-25W audio power amplifiers.
  • Complementary Pair Available: Pairs directly with the NPN 2SC1627 for push-pull or complementary designs.
  • Standard TO-92 Package: Easy through-hole mounting for prototyping, repair and PCB assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the complementary NPN transistor for the 2SA817?
A: The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA817 is the 2SC1627, commonly used together in push-pull audio driver stages.

Q: What is the maximum current the 2SA817 can handle?
A: The 2SA817 has a maximum collector current of 0.3A (300mA) and a power dissipation of 625mW, suitable for driver stages rather than final output power stages.

Notes

This is a legacy Toshiba part, still widely used for servicing vintage audio equipment and amplifier repairs where the original 2SA817 or its direct equivalent is required.

Note: Price refers to one (1) piece. The component is shipped in bulk without individual packaging.
