300W RMS Power Amplifier - 2SC3858 and 2SA1494 Transistors + PCB

Fig. 1 - PCB 300W RMS Power Amplifier - 2SC3858 and 2SA1494 Transistors


This is a 300W RMS Power Amplifier using complementary power transistors 2SC3858 and 2SA1494, this circuit amplifier isn't so simple to building, it will be necessary to have at least a little experience in electronics.

To set up this circuit, its complexity is moderate, but, if you haven't skills in electronics circuits, we advise you not to do it, however, if you really want to do it, call someone with experience, to help you.

This amplifier has an excellent audio quality, and use four output power transistors, it reaches a sound power of 300W RMS under load of 4 ohms, powered with a symmetric power supply. You can check the schematic diagram in Figure 2 below.

Power Supply

The power supply consists of a symmetrical transformer 45V - 0 - 45V center tape, 6 Amperes current supply, can be used. After rectified, we will have approximately 63Vcc at the output of the symmetrical power supply .

  1. Hi everyone,
    I am mounting the PCB as the components are written, and at the output of the SP I get a voltage of about 30vdc and being, so I think the diagram is not correct,
    I have already written in other posts some errors, that I had the PCB (Q1 C1815 transient), could someone give me a clue where the problem is?
    there I put Photos
    Beste Regards

    1. Hi RAFFI!
      This Circuit had a pin inversion error on two transistors C1815 and A1015.
      The software library that we used to make the PCB, had the pinning of these transistors inverted. We have already fixed and are already updated on our website.
      We apologize for the unfortunate event.
      And thanks for sharing your experience with us.

      My regards
