I got one of theese in for repair..

The outputs are Shorted They are SSP45N20A's does anyone know of a good replacement for them?

Is this a 4080 based amp?

S Merlington · 2012-11-12 6:15 am

Perry Babin · 2012-11-12 6:49 am

The IRF3710Z should work.

S Merlington · 2012-11-12 7:00 pm

Perry,

I was looking at the wrong amp..

This is not a HIP4080 based amp..

Should i still try the 3710Z's or is there a better choice?

Perry Babin · 2012-11-12 8:15 pm

No. I would need to know more about the amp to offer any suggestions. What's the rail voltage?

S Merlington · 2012-11-12 9:20 pm

Rail Voltage is 69 volts

Perry Babin · 2012-11-12 11:04 pm

The 3710s definitely won't work. The rail voltage is probably too close to the limit for the IRF3415 (a transistor that I commonly use as a sub for the SSP45N20 in amps with a bit less rail voltage).

Post a photo of the board.

Heres a pic of the Board Hopefully it works lost my camera cord and i took this with my phone

That appears to be a variation on the MTX/Sony class D amps. Is the power supply regulated?

S Merlington · 2012-11-13 6:52 am

Yes the power supply is regulated

Perry Babin · 2012-11-13 8:14 am

The IRFB42N20D may work. If they don't, you could try others rated for 200v. If you can't find anything that will work, I'd try the 3415s. If they fail, cut the rail voltage back a few volts and they would likely survive. When you're working with an amp that has discontinued parts, there may not be any definitive solution. You may have to do a bit of testing to see what works.

Perry ,

Do you think the FQP34N20's would work in this amp ??

Heres the datasheets for the orginals and the FQp34n20's

It's very difficult (for me) to tell if one particular output will work. I've learned that testing is the only foolproof way to tell if an output will work reliably.

S Merlington · 2012-11-16 1:36 pm

I found the orginal outputs and they should be in today..

MCM Electronics had them in stock ..

I was trouble shooting the amp some more and found that the Transformer is shorted also..

I have one out of a parts amp im going to replace it with so hopefully nothing else is defective ..

Thanks for the help

S Merlington · 2012-12-16 2:05 am

I replaced the transformer in this amp also replaced the outputs..

Amp powes up and produces both + - rail voltages and also produces both + - regulated voltages

Amp has no output before i replaced the Transformer and outputs amp powerd up and produced audio but was very distorted and if i twisted the transformer it would draw 60 amps of current ..

After i replaced the transformer with the same one the amp has no output now any ideas ??

Perry Babin · 2012-12-16 6:34 am

Do you have audio on pin 7 and a triangle waveform on pin 6 of the 4080?

S Merlington · 2012-12-16 11:05 am

I was mistaken before this is not a HIP4080 based amp

S Merlington · 2012-12-18 9:48 pm

anyone have any ideas on why this amp has no output after i replaced the transformer?

Perry Babin · 2012-12-18 10:22 pm

There is an opto-coupler that biases the drive stage on. You need to determine if it's being driven to bias the amp on or if it's not being driven. Then you will know what part of the amp to troubleshoot.

This amp appears to be like the sony XM-D400P5. If you don't have that service manual, email me.
