Amplifier Project Kit (pack of 5)



Order Code: 70-0180


 
Key Features

Data Sheets

PCBs available separately (not included). Requires 1x PP3 battery per kit (not included).


Aimed at Key Stage 3, the audio amplifier project provides teachers with a stimulating and inexpensive project through which to study the subject of amplification.

Teachers notes are available to download here.
  • Students have the opportunity to build a small amplifier, which can be incorporated into a variety of product designs, e.g., as an amplifier for a personal CD player so that they can share their music with their friends
  • The students have a number of design situations to select a starting point from, and they are provided with research topics and background material to help build understanding for their chosen design brief
  • The student notes provide material for students to explore how a range of simple amplifier circuits work
  • They also include guidance on the design and construction of speakers
  • To support students during the construction of the circuit, detailed instructions have been included on how to assemble the amplifier, and how to integrate the circuit into student designs
  • In addition, care has been taken, through extensive evaluation of the teaching material and PCB designs in schools, to ensure that the circuits are easy and robust enough for student manufacture
  • A detailed set of teacher notes is provided which includes suggested lesson plans and mapping to the National Curriculum
  • The project notes have been designed for photocopying for class use
  • Teaching material available for free download at www.rapidonline.com
  • Component kits are supplied in multiples of five, and contain the following:
  • TBA820M audio amplifier and IC socket
  • Resistors, capacitors, and LED
  • Switch and connecting jack socket
  • Connecting cable
  • Speaker and speaker cable
  • Battery clip
  • Pre-drilled PCBs are available separately in packs of 5, order code 70-0190
  • Suitable for Key Stage 3 (ages 11 to 14)

Used this circuit for GCSE project and it worked first time with excellent sound, but you need to use a better quality speaker.
