Re: k series amp trannies
Any idea if the transistors are "real" toshibas or fakes?
Cheers!

I got some CrestAudio schemes Vs, CA, Pro Series etc.
If some of you decided to clone one sali ako.

there is a guy here named ferdz, and also at pinoydvd, who is at 24 very well versed with protel pcb design software, i believe it won't be hard to convince him to design the pcb for us should there be enough interest on it.

unlless you get them from the factory, it would be very hard to tell...

Hi Tony,
The Base to Emitter junction capacitance appears to be a good indicator of 'authenticity'. The real ones have a higher BE capacitance, due to larger die size.... usually a few nF. Specifics for the 2SC5200 etc I don't have however...

Also, I guess if the transistors keep blowing up then its a good indication that they are fake... hehehehe!
Cheers

yes, but i would'nt be too quick to call that, you can easily fry genuine transistors if the biasing is not right. i've learned that repairing Sansui amps....Sansunog is how we called those amps from the late 80' to early 90's....
Haha, nice name.
Re frying up transistors - true, however if the bias is set right and isn't drifting YET the thing transistors keep blowing.. We had an Onkyo amplifier with those particular symptoms. Came in with blown outputs, bought a set of trannies from Raon, put them in, check bias. Everything ok, even powering speakers for a while. Once you push the amp to high power levels, poof... Happened several times, and that's actually what started us guessing that we had fakes!

I have tested this transistors using +- 90 supplies into a 4 ohm load with no failures.Actual test into my friends mobile rental amps for 1 year with o failures.In my research I bought from at least 5 different stores in RAON most of them failed.And yes capacitance is a good way to separate the genuine from the fakes.I also bought from digikey and compared it to the one I bought in Ronquillo they are the same in quality.
fake op
hello guy,
fyi, 2sc5200, 2ca1943 absolutely fake if the part number can easy to read. i bought in eleshop raon. when I powered it to my amp my fuse blown. just for curious I cracked it and I found that the die is undersized.
there is one transistor the part number is hard to read, but no idea if it is genuine. according to the store (eglo electronics supply) it is original daw. I dont think so the price is cheap php 90. huh

hienrich,
mjl4302/mjl4281, as know this device is high voltage 350 volts vce I think, it uses by ESP high end, here in Raon alexan not yet available out of stock daw, But u can go to mjl21193/94 it is almost the same characteristics 250 volt vce, (onsemi). php 430/pc. in alexan. power op BJT will sell in alexan are onsime and fairchild.

will you be using DMM for this tests.
well we are all drowned with fakes these days..
so thats why for my projects I have to spend so much for
Onsemi's MJL's

Hi hienrich,
No, I'll bring a capacitance tester. Some DMMs have this function, but I haven't tried if these are 'capable'. The requirement essentially is that the meter must be able to see into the nF range, and that the test voltage used by the meter is low enough so as not to bias the B-E junction (so the test signal should be ~100mV).
Cheers!

hi clem_o,
I hope I aquire such tester soon, I hope I could find one in Cebu.
pls. post what ever will be your developments.
hi rlg_200
what 430 a pc.
Id rather go for 5200s and 1943s
well I still hope to find them here as originals...
I am so lucky to have some MJLs given to me as bday gift
from a cousin. but still not enough for some future projects.
