i have a lot of TIP31 transistors , can i use them to increase the current handling capacity of LM78xx regulators ? i need the voltage reg to handle 3 to 4 amps. will this also work for the LM317 adj ?
any body provide diagram on how to do this. ? ( i have the voltage reg side sorted out , just need the current increased.)
thanks, mk
