2SC5200 transistor equivalent
The equivalent transistor of 2sc 5200 is used as TTC5200. This is the same transistor from Toshiba. MJL3281A and MJL13002A is the best transistor for replacement. This transistor produced by Motorola company. Find original ic when you are going to buy. In our market a lot of fake Transistors are available.
Advantage of using power transistors in circuit
- Very easy to turn on or off the transistor.
- The power transistor can able to handle the current when it is in on state.
- The transistor can handle high frequency or low-frequency range. so it is suitable for an audio amplifier.
- In on state the power drop across the transistor is very low.
