100w amplifier circuit with PCB

Imagine you have a small party. Turn on great music. Friends really appreciate your audio system. These 100W transistor power amplifier circuits may make it true.

Although these are Classical amplifier circuits for over 40 years ago.
But if people love music. They are not outdated.

We use only all-transistor, MJ15003 and MJ15004 are the main in circuits.  And the power supply +38V 0 -38V 3A. Because it is a style of OCL amplifier.

Specifications

  • Power output : 105watts at 4 ohm load, 88watt at 8 ohms load
  • Input sensitivity : 0.5V
  • Frequency response : 10-10kHZ +/- 1dB
  • THD: 0.07% at 50 watt , 0.1% at 100 watt.

How it works

This 100W OCL power amplifier is excellent sound quality. In the circuit uses all direct coupling connection together. To cut-off frequency low-loss problems the super bass.

Note:

Because the details in the article are too less for beginners And it needs some skill like good quality soldering. However, if you accept any damage that happened later. Yes, you can. Let’s get started.

It is so hard that explain you understand how it works in simple ways.

Here is step its process.

  • First, enter a signal from the tone controls to the input. C1 passes the audio signal to the base of Q1.
  • Q1 and Q2 connect together as  the differential amplifier. To increase low audio with reducing noise input.
  • Then, the signal from the collector lead of Q1 flows to Q5.  It is a pre-driver amplifier circuit.
  • The transistor Q4 sets a level bias or act as to control Idle current in this circuit. Which we can adjust level idle current By adjusting the VR1.
  • The transistor Q3 acts as a boost trapping.
  • The output signal of Q5 comes in the base of Q8 and Q9.  Which they act as the driver circuit.  For the signal output to drive the output transistors Q10, Q11.
  • See both output transistors Q10 and Q11. We use MJ15003 and MJ15004. This couple can use up to 200W. So no problem in durability.

If you want to save.

Some use a pair of these output transistors to connect in parallel instead.

  • Two 2N3055 instead of MJ15003.
  • Two MJ2955 instead of MJ15004.
  • Two MJ802 instead of MJ15003.
  • Two MJ4502 instead of MJ15004.

Short datasheet

  • 2N3055: NPN, 60V(Vce), 15A(Ic), hFE 20-70
  • MJ2955: PNP, 60V(Vce), 15A(Ic), hFE 20-70
  • MJ802: NPN, 90V(Vce), 30A(Ic) 200W, hFE min 25
  • MJ4502: PNP, 90V(Vce), 30A(Ic) 200W, hFE min 25

Then, assemble all part on the PCB layout as Figure below.

Setting and Testing

  • Check the assembly of all equipment to correct the circuit without the output transistors.
  • Use a voltmeter measure the voltage at the speaker terminals but without a speaker.
  • At the end of this process was completed and ready to operate immediately.
  • Put the power supply to the circuit.
  • Then to measure the voltage is 0V or not higher than 0.25V. If not same this, it means that the circuit failure, need to check first.

Note: All Amplifers Projects with PCB layout

  • Then a short input circuit. And measure the current of output power transistors with an ammeter. And, adjust VR1 until reading about the current 20-40 mA.
  • Should install transistor Q4 with the output power transistor heatsink. To help control the bias current output relative to the temperature change of the output transistor.
  • The power supply circuit is got by the power of transformer T1, which provides voltage to the coil in the secondary coil is 27-0-27 volts, 5A.
  • The Diodes Bridge rectifier should be not lower than 5 Amp 100V, The filter capacitor C7, C8 we used a 1,000uF 50V, the voltage at the capacitor after through the filter will can about 38V.

Caution! This project needs to use the speaker protection circuit. Otherwise, your speaker may be damaged.

  2. hi I assemble this circuit it working good but it get too much of heat even without load the output transistors get too hot i use 2sc3855 &2sa1492

  5. I want to amplify 10mW (10V over 1k ohm output impedance) to about 100W over the frequency range 10kHhz – 500kHz. Linearity is not at all critical since the signal is pure sine wave or possibly square wave. Would you for a fee design a suitable circuit for this? It would be an advantage but not neccessary if the output could be varied.

  10. I am extremely interested in building my own 100W RMS power amp and power supply.
    The one I’d love to do as a project Is the one shown in the schematic diagram. Please let me know the prices involved and how I can purchase it….thanks a ton
    Neil.

  11. I was Constructed a 30W+30W Cassette Deck very long ago, using N055 & P055 Transistor in Golden PCB. Recently all Transistors are burnt out but, I want to repair the Amplifier. I have lost the book. I did not find the Transistor or Circuit Diagram anywhere. Please give me the circuit diagram of the amplifier of N055-P055. And suggest me where can I find the Transistor or its substitute.
    Thanks in advance.

  13. hi
    i am new in to design and planning to assemble this amplifier. i have one question here is. what is the use of Q6 and Q7 transistor here. what is role of this two transistor.

    regards,
    suhas

      • Nowhere Q6 and Q7 transistors working principle illustrations by the Author. It is I presume short circuit of Speaker output terminals, as these transistors will stop supply to output transistors and thus protection against short circuit.
        Is it ?
