Regulated Power Supply 40V 2A by LM317 + TIP42

This is circuit Fix power supply Regulator 40V 2A for main Power Amplifier 30W.
It is use IC LM317T (Hot IC Variable Regulator) and Transistor TIP42 for boost up Current to 2A max . Other detail see in circuit.
A very good and powerful Regulated Power Supply section was implemented by simply adding a PNP power transistor to the excellent LM317T adjustable regulator chip. In this way this circuit was able to deliver much more than the power required to drive two Mini-MosFet amplifiers to full output (at least 2Amp @ 40V into 4 Ohm load) without any appreciable effort.
