Need Help Building an Audio Amplifier with D2059 Transistors

AI Thread Summary
A forum user seeks assistance in building an audio amplifier using four D2059 transistors and a TIP117 transistor, expressing a lack of electronics knowledge. They request simple circuit diagrams for amplifiers ranging from 100 to 200 watts, compatible with power supplies of 20 to 40 volts. Other participants suggest researching existing designs, particularly using MOSFETs, and provide insights into the specifications of the D2059 transistors as medium power NPN and PNP types. The conversation highlights the complexity of the request, comparing it to building a car from basic parts. Overall, the user is encouraged to explore available resources for amplifier designs.

Good morning Thank you very much for being part of this forum. I have a concern. I have 4 D2059 transistors and I want to build an audio amplifier, but I don't have enough knowledge of electronics. And I have one more transistor tip117. Can anyone help me by sending a simple circuit diagram how to assemble this?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
I also have a large number of MOSFET transistors of all kinds, but I can't build a sound amplifier with that.
I need simple schemes up to 200watt to 100wat. With normal and symmetrical sources up to 20v to 40V. It can be up to 35v too.
 
To put this in perspective, what you ask is like saying:
I have 4 wheels with tires, a steering wheel, and a radiator. Can some send me plans on how to build a car?

Btw, I didn't even look up what those part number actually are. For all I know attempting to use those parts would be the equivalent of putting square wheels on a car.
 
Welcome to PF. :smile:

Maybe try a Google Images search on mosfet audio amplifier to get some ideas...

I didn't either until just now. They are medium power 100V NPN and PNP transistors in TO-220 type packages:

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
