RCA1B06
Silicon Transistor for

Audio Amplifiers
with
JEDEC TO·3
H-1570 Pi-Nu Output Transistors
RCA1B06 isan n·p·n pi·nu silicon transistor in a JEDEC TO·3
package. This device is especially characterized for audio·
amplifier applications, and can be driven by either RCA 1C03
or RCA lC04, n·p·n and p·n·p types, respectively.
The 7Q.watt amplifier shown in Figs. 1 and 5 uses the
RCA1B06 output device in coniunction with eleven other
discrete transistors, thirteen diodes, and a 90·volt split power
supply. The amplifier output is directly coupled to an B·ohm
speaker. The high·frequency RCA1B06 output transistors used
in the amplifier circuit produce excellent transient" response at
a high power level.
