Hi guys,
need help with iding a transistor out of a surround sound receiver.
the markings on it are as such:
115- 8 XEit's in a smaller package than say a bc548, rectangular with flat front & back sides.
anyone have any idea?
cheers,
tc

it's a sony STR-DE535, made in malaysia, no idea how old it is though, can't find a date code on it anywhere. probably late 90's early 2000's or so..
power amp, it appears to be a driver tranny.
yep ;)
and currently all three are shorted.. if i get a chance this arvo, i'll pull out one from another channel & test it to see if it's npn/pnp etc..
cheers,

** Funny - I had a STR-DE525 here 3 weeks ago.Blown outputs, special types - had to get them from Speedy.
** Good idea............ Phil

** You sure that number is "115 " and not " 118 " ??A 2SK118 Nch J-FET fits the bill.

FWIW, NTE list a "Low Noise, High Gain Amplifier, Silicon NPN Transistor" cross for a "147115-8", whatever that is:
Does the package look like this one?
What is the pinout? Is it NPN or PNP or FET? Does it form one side of a complementary pair? If so, what is the p/n of the other transistor? What is the part's circuit reference?

yep, it's definitely "115"
just pulled one out of another channel & ran it over my atlas.
it's a pnp bjt. part number in the unit is Q554 if that's any help.
cheers,
tc.
pnp bipolar transistor, pinout (looking from the label side) is ECB, not part of a complimentary pair, unit is in a sont STR-DE535, part number Q554.

** My bet is that it is a 2SA1158.Similar specs to a BC556.

Could it be a DTA115 digital transistor??? Could the "8" and/or the "XE" refer to the value(s) of its integrated resistor(s), if any? Is the transistor involved in muting, or is that done at the input???
Have you tried calling Prime Electronics?

it seems to be a driver for the poweramps in the unit - each poweramp has one, so i doubt it's a dta115.
thanks, i might give that a go.
cheers,
tc.
so far that sounds like a winner.
thanks phil,
cheers,
tc.
hmm.. oh yes, i see why there must be an "8" in the part no. lol
;)
well on the device it was:
115- 8 XE & on a real close look, the 8 _could_ have been a "B", but i'm pretty sure it was "8".i reckon phil was closest here - pretty close specs to a bc556 (pretty sure he said 556.. anyway, whatever it was, i'll try it on the weekend..)
with a bit of luck, it'll do the job.
cheers,
tc.

I'd be uncomfortable with that choice for several reasons. Firstly, all my references (vrt, Google, Towers) show the package style as TO-92. Secondly, if you can fit four characters on the second line, then why does the "1158" need to be split across two lines? IMHO, this suggests that the "-" is a significant component of the part number. Thirdly, IME Japanese transistors often drop the leading "2S" when space is unavailable, but never the leading A,B,C, or D.

ok, on reading the posts i see the reference to -8 which often has other meanings ie gain the package is smaller than to-92, it is common for the japs to remove all but the last 3 digits of the part no on the package.
