The B772 (2SB772) is a mediumpower PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) housed in a TO126 package. It is designed for output stages of audio amplifiers, voltage regulators, DC-DC converters, and relay drivers [citation:2][citation:7]. It is the complementary (PNP) counterpart to the NPN transistor D882 (2SD882) [citation:2][citation:9].
