What is 2SA1941?

2SA1941 is a PNP  transistor with TO-3P packaging that is designed for high-power audio amplification. It is typically used in conjunction with its NPN  complementary transistor 2SC5198 to create small and large high-power audio amplifiers. When employed as an audio amplifier, the transistor performs well across the entire range of audio frequencies from 20Hz to 20kHz, resulting in good results. It gives the same sound quality at the output with enhanced amplification.

  • Power - Max

    Power - Max is a parameter that specifies the maximum amount of power that an electronic component can handle without being damaged. It is typically measured in watts and indicates the upper limit of power that can be safely supplied to the component. Exceeding the maximum power rating can lead to overheating, malfunction, or permanent damage to the component. It is important to consider the power-max rating when designing circuits or systems to ensure proper operation and longevity of the electronic components.

  • Transistor Type

    Transistor type refers to the classification of transistors based on their operation and construction. The two primary types are bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and field-effect transistors (FETs). BJTs use current to control the flow of current, while FETs utilize voltage to control current flow. Each type has its own subtypes, such as NPN and PNP for BJTs, and MOSFETs and JFETs for FETs, impacting their applications and characteristics in electronic circuits.

    PNP
  • Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max)

    Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max) is a parameter that specifies the maximum voltage that can be applied between the collector and emitter terminals of a transistor or other semiconductor device before it breaks down and allows excessive current to flow. This parameter is crucial for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the component within its specified limits. Exceeding the maximum breakdown voltage can lead to permanent damage or failure of the device. Designers and engineers must carefully consider this parameter when selecting components for their circuits to prevent potential issues and ensure proper functionality.
