There are some problems with the heat sink that are worth noting it down:
The heat sink on the picture is a 25×25 mm aluminum heat sink. It has good thermal performance (temperature never exceeds 50° on full power), but the size of the heat sink is a little too big. To solve this problem, I pushed two inductors in the middle a little backward to fit the heat sink in. Another alternative solution is to use a 20×25 mm heat sink, which can fit perfectly, and it works fine when the output is below 40W. 40W output can be pretty loud for indoor use, and I would recommend using the alternative solution when it comes to the choice of heat sink.

I am confused about the classification of A, B, AB, D amplifiers: common emitter, common base, common collector
Where does each of them fit in?
The classification of amplifiers you mentioned, A, B, AB, and D, refers to different amplifier classes based on their output characteristics. These classes are not directly related to the common emitter, common base, and common collector configurations.
The common emitter, common base, and common collector are different transistor amplifier configurations commonly used in analog electronics. They define how the transistor is connected to the input and output circuits of the amplifier.
On the other hand, amplifier classes (A, B, AB, and D) categorize amplifiers based on their output stage design and the conduction angle of the output devices. Here’s a brief overview:
1. Class A amplifiers: These amplifiers operate in a mode where the output devices (usually transistors) conduct for the entire input signal cycle. They are known for their high linearity but tend to be less efficient as they dissipate power even when there is no input signal.
2. Class B amplifiers: These amplifiers use a pair of complementary output devices (e.g., NPN and PNP transistors) that conduct during opposite halves of the input signal cycle. Class B amplifiers are more efficient than Class A, but they introduce some distortion due to a small overlap region between the conducting devices.
3. Class AB amplifiers: Class AB amplifiers are a compromise between Class A and Class B. They have a small bias current flowing through the output devices even when there is no input signal. This biasing reduces distortion and crossover distortion present in Class B amplifiers.
4. Class D amplifiers: Unlike the previous classes, Class D amplifiers use a different approach. They convert the input signal into a series of pulses, which are then amplified by rapidly switching output devices (typically MOSFETs) on and off. This switching action allows Class D amplifiers to achieve high efficiency while sacrificing some linearity.
To summarize, the common emitter, common base, and common collector configurations represent different ways of connecting transistors in amplifier circuits. On the other hand, amplifier classes (A, B, AB, and D) classify amplifiers based on their output stage design and the conduction angle of the output devices.
