What is a sutable alternative to small signal transistor type A970?
Hi All,
I am currently repairing a powered mixing desk and it uses (on each of its input channels) a pair of A970 transistors for the microphone input preamp stage. A channel has gone down and I've traced the fault to both transistors which have failed. My question is can I replace these with an alternative I have to hand such as a BC550, BC560 or BC108/109? Cant find a data sheet on the A970, but I think it has a beta of at least 400. Any help will be much appreciated! Dan |

Dan The transistor is probably a 2SA970, the prefix is often omitted from the marking on Japanese transistors. Anyway you can get the datasheet from here, and it shouldn't be too hard to find a suitable replacement. http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/data...9/2SA970.shtml |

Dan Try searching for 2SA970, found them at ampslab, there is even a PDF that you can download http://www.ampslab.com/trans_2sa970.htm TOSHIBA LOW NOISE TRANSISTOR/ SILICON PNP / 120V / 0.1A / 100MHz.
