C5200 A1943 Stereo Amplifier DIY Homemade

In the following video I showed, how to make a powerful C5200 A1943 Stereo Amplifier with heavy bass, treble and volume controllers. The high quality circuit uses minimum components with a low cost and ideal for beginners.

This video was sponsored by JLCPCB which is one of the largest PCB manufacturing company in China. You can download the gerber file of this project and can re-order it from the manufacturer. Link of which is already provided in the list of components at end of this article.

Circuit Diagram

of C5200 A1943 Stereo Amplifier

This is the circuit diagram of C5200 NPN & A1943 PNP transistors Stereo Amplifier including bass, treble and volume controllers. 2SC2383 NPN transistor is also used in pre-amplifier stage. The amplifier provides high bass and its ideal for bass lovers.

Following is the image of front side view of PCB extracted from gerber file. You can re-print the file or you can order it from JLCPCB for your own project. I have already provided a clickable link of gerber file at the end of this article in the list of components section.

Following image shows the rear view of PCB of this project. The PCB uses two layers in circuit which is attached each other internally. The stereo board is designed compact within 4 inch x 4 inch size which can be fit in small box and doesn’t require large space.

This following image shows the text layer. You can easily print on PCB through this image at home for making as DIY project.

This PCB is designed in 3 layers. You can see both upper and bottom layers at a glance in the following print.

JLCPCB company of China has delivered this package box via DHL shipment where I received 5 nos of PCB in just $2 and received within a week time.

In the following image, I soldered all components without 4 transistors and 2 large capacitors. All the holes and the space of each component is in perfect size. The finishing of the PCB is outstanding.

On this stage I have soldered all parts. I will just fix the heat sink. The heat sink should be large enough and thick for proper dissipation of heat of all transistors. The transistors heats up during running and it requires proper heat dissipation. Smaller heat sink can not cool the transistors properly which causes transistors burning.
