Default Fake Audio Amp IC?


"Gareth the Menace "

Is anyone able to tell whether this might or might not be fake?



** It is rare for anyone to set out to manufacture a "fake" electronic
device for sale - so the terms "fake" and "counterfeit" are misleading.

What IS done is to remove the labelling from a cheap device and re-label
it as another, more expensive and far more sellable type.

In the case of the STK422 series of modules, the game would be to re-label a
lower spec part as a higher spec one.

FFS - buy from a trusted local supplier.

Is 10 UK pounds plus VAT too much for a 65 watt per channel stereo power amp
??
