ZTX450 Alternative from the BC... range?

[konstantin]

Hi Everyone,

Is there any way to use a BC... range transistor instead of the ZTX450 that Nelson use for the Aleph5?
It is imposible to find any in the local stores.

Thanks

No. He himself has said so, any deasent npn will do.

Hi, konstantin

I can't see the ZTX450 in the Aleph5 schematic. Mr. Pass used it in the Zen-projects.
BC 337A, BC 637, BC 639, 2SD1207 will do. I think the ZTX450 was not that important. MPSA18 or substitutes BC 184, BC 413..414, BC 550, 2SC3112..13 will also do the trick.
Watch the pin out’s

BC v.s ZTX

Agaphte Kostantine,

I used BC550c but you may need to adjust the bias manually and maybe the current gain as BC range got higher hfe than ZTX450 and MPSA18, But I have done it with BC and works perfectly after the necessary adjustments, for any additional info contact me at my email.

Citation 12 (slightly off topic)

Hello guys,

I stripped the circuitboards of a Citation 12 but I'm still looking for some of the parts.
Does anyone of you have an idea regarding substitutions for:
MPSL01
MPSL51
IRF100 --> although I thought this part is not very critical any Mosfet which meets the specs (or betters them) is alright, is this true?

Thanks,

Jarno.

I would use any NPN transistor that satisfies two conditions:

(1) Base-Emitter on voltage = about 0.66V at normal operating temperature
(2) Maximum ratings with respect to voltages and current to be suitable for the amp

I think you can safely use the ZTX450 and 550 parts.
As to the IRF100, a wide variety of IR parts from 100 to 250
will work as far as I know. IRF140 is just about ideal.

Thanks, Nelson!

Bad day, I for shure ment yes, sooooo sorry!!🙁
Good that others were right on track.
