A1930 generally refers to the 2SA1930, a high‑current PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) used in power amplifier and switching circuits. It’s often found in audio amplifier output stages paired with a complementary NPN transistor like 2SC5171.
📌 Key Characteristics (2SA1930)
Transistor Type: PNP silicon BJT
Polarity: PNP
Package: TO‑220‑3 (through‑hole power package)
Collector–Emitter Voltage (Vᴄᴇo): ~–180 V (maximum)
Collector Current (Iᴄ): ~–2 A continuous
Power Dissipation: ~20–40 W range depending on mounting/heatsink
DC Current Gain (hFE): Moderate to high (varies with manufacturer/spec version)
Transition Frequency (fT): Typically suitable for audio and general power stages
Note: The exact voltage and power ratings can vary slightly between manufacturer datasheets (Toshiba, ON Semiconductor, etc.), but the –180 V/–2 A class is typical for the standard 2SA1930.
🔍 Typical Applications
2SA1930 (A1930) is most commonly used in:
Audio power amplifier output stages
