100w Transistor Power Amplifier Schematic: Learn How to Build It
You can be making two of these boards, to be able to work with two outputs, in stereo, and make an amplifier with total power of 280W RMS.
This amplifier works with a simple power supply, that is, a unipolar, non-symmetric power supply.
This amplifier circuit can be used in almost any type of application that requires a simple amplifier, with great performance, low noise and low distortion, and good sound quality.
It uses 2 output power transistors, NPN transistor MJL4281, and PNP transistor MJL4302, forming a pair of complementary transistors.

The Power Transistors
The MJL4281A and MJL4302A transistors are power transistors designed for high power audio, they have a collector-emitter sustaining voltage of 350 V.
It’s high gain – 80 to 240, with the hFE = 50 (min) 8A collector current, and a low harmonic distortion, which makes a transistor excellent for high power operation and audio quality.
The Circuit
This circuit has a moderate complexity, it is not recommended for those who have no experience in electronics and in the assembly of amplifier circuits.
You should have minimum knowledge in an intermediate to advanced level to assemble this type of power amplifier.
The schematic diagram of the complete circuit, shown in Figure 2 below, is a very robust amplifier, with great sound quality and very stable, responding very well at all audible frequencies, with little attenuation in the 20Hz to 20Khz hearing frequency range.
Power supply
The power supply is symmetrical, with a voltage of +45V | 0V | -45V, and direct current, with at least 6 Amps of current. For continuous use, we recommend 4A, especially if used in a subwoofer.
In Figure 3 below, we have a suggestion for a power supply that we use in our projects. In this article, besides having the schematic diagram with the Printed Circuit Board, you will understand how to easily calculate your own Power Supply, with the desired voltage.
