2SC5200 NPN Power Amplifier Transistor (TO-3PL)

The 2SC5200 earned a lasting reputation in the audio hobbyist world as one of the defining output transistors for high-fidelity amplifier designs, delivering a hefty 15A current rating and 230V headroom in a rugged TO-3PL package built to handle real sustained power dissipation. It is specifically sought after by builders replicating classic or highly-regarded DIY amplifier schematics that name this exact transistor, since substituting a lesser part can noticeably change the amplifier's sound and reliability at high output levels.
