D718 Transistor Explained / Description:
D718 is a TO-3P packaged NPN transistor made by many electronics components manufacturers. The transistor is designed to use in high power audio amplifier applications and capable to deliver output audio of 45 to 50 Watts. The max collector current of the transistor is 8A and the max collector to emitter voltage is 120V. The max collector dissipation is 80 Watts. The transistor is available two different gain values or hFE values which can be determined by the alphabet used right after the transistor number. If that alphabet is “R” then the hFE value of that transistor will be 55-110 and if it is “O” then the hFE value of the transistor will be 80-160.

Applications:
Simple high power audio amplifier
Stereo high power audio amplifier
How to Safely Long Run in a Circuit:
Using any electronic components under its absolute maximum ratings will not only make it perform stable but also increase its safety and working life in the circuit. Therefore we recommend to use a component atleast 20% below from its max ratings. The maximum collector-emitter voltage of the transistor is 120V therefore do not drive load of more than 96V. The maximum collector current of the transistor is 8A therefore do not drive load of more than 6.4A. Use a suitable heatsink with the transistor and always store of operate in temperature above -55 degrees centigrade and below +150 degrees centigrade.
