Hey guys,
Im having a crack at fixing a mates amp. Its a jaycar response amp. Just trying to hunt down the burnt out transistor.

Is what is written on it.

Ive seen this on ebay

Is it a good enough substitute? Although the bottom numbers are different?

Kind Regards,
Jess

Hi Jess,

The transistor required is a Sanken NPN Triple Diffused Planar Transistor. The part number you're looking for is 2SC4468 (C4468 are the same thing). The markings below the part number refer to a lot number which is basically the date of manufacture.

I would be careful in purchasing similar items from HK as there are counterfeits around: http://sound.westhos...nterfeit-p2.htm


I hope this helps.

Regards Casey

definitely buy it from a reputable seller - i.e. local bricks and mortar shop, or the likes of Element14 (Farnell, Newark), Radio Spares, etc.
