How to use 2SC5200 Transistor/Circuit Diagram?

An audio amplifier is an electronic circuit designed to amplify weak AC or DC signals to a higher amplitude range. Amplifiers are commonly found in devices such as mono speakers, stereo speakers, and audio amplifiers. Below is an audio amplifier circuit using a 2SC5200 transistor. The transistor in this circuit is a 2SC5200, which is an NPN power transistor.

This audio amplifier circuit can be built with various electronic components, including a 2SC5200 NPN power transistor, a 0.5 Watt 8 Ohms loudspeaker, a 3.5mm DC male or female jack, a 10K potentiometer, a 1K resistor, a 220uF electrolytic capacitor, a 12V DC power supply, battery clips, jumper wires, and a breadboard.

The working of the audio amplifier circuit with the 2SC5200 transistor is as follows: the input provided to this circuit is audio input from a smartphone or personal computer.

A 10K potentiometer controls the input voltage level, and a 220uF capacitor blocks the input signal’s DC component, allowing only the AC component. This AC signal acts as a control signal for the base terminal of the transistor.

The amplified output from the collector terminal of the 2SC5200 transistor moves to the negative terminal of a speaker, while the positive terminal connects to a DC power supply via a DC male power jack. To protect the transistor from overheating, a heat sink can be optionally used.

This audio amplifier circuit has various applications. It is essential in music recording, making it crucial in the modern music industry. Additionally, it is used as an acoustic weapon in the military and in HVAC radars.
