Genuine Sanken 2SA1216 Supplier

Delboy2 · 21st November 2010, 05:21 PM

As per title, I am looking for a replacement 2SA1216 Sanken transistor for my Audiolab 8000P as a fault with my DAC caused the said transistor to depart along with a common emitter 0.22ohm resistor. With there being many copies around I would be grateful if someone knows of a genuine supplier.

Cheers

BD Enterprise...I buy tons of transistors from here
B&D Enterprises - Electronic Components Distributor

I always had good luck with B&D, but the last Sanken MT-200's that I bought from them blew up in my face after a very thorough rebuild on a Nikko amp (worked fine till I ran it with full primary voltage, and then disintegrated...usually a sign of bogus parts).

I've had pretty good luck.I guess.I've used them (Sanken MT-200's) in Yamaha M-80's & M-85's under full rail at WOT on dummy loads--No problems and no complaints..

So far I have had no problem Sankens from B&D. They are my first stop looking for Sanken parts.

Delboy, I´ve got around 50 pieces left of both 2sa1216 and 2sc2922, even with the same prod. number on both npn and pnp. PM me, and we can find out something. I guarantee, these are genuine :-)

Hi,

I just bought 10 of each 2SA1216Y and 2SC2922Y from them for a dead 8000P with some dead outputs. It was kept in a wall unit with doors and probably got too hot inside for it. It might have been forgotten and left on with the doors closed. Years of use too in too warm conditions because of wall unit and no air conditioning probably took their toll too!

Does the Y mean they should match well enough? I was thinking of replacing all outputs or is that a waste? Would any of the other transistors etc. be damaged too?

Thanks in advance!

Randy

I was under the impression that each channel only has one pair, can you post a photo of what you are looking at?
