#159693 - Question for Andy
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Andy Neil said:

You're assuming that we're talking about power transistors, in audio amp type applications, and that the failure was caused by overheat.

Not that the information isn't valuable, but none of these is clear in the original post...

As has already been said, it is impossible to say based on the information provided.


Please mention other reasons of transistor failure than 'thermal breakdown'?, to justify your above comments regarding your so called Kai's assumption? . We are talking regarding what happens AFTER the failure has occured in worst case scenario and not what is causing a failure .
