Bio: HI! I am Junez Riyaz, currently doing
Bachelor of Technology in the field of
Electronics and Communication
Engineering. I am much interested in

The LM386 is quite a versatile chip. Only a couple resistors and capacitors are
More by JunezRiyaz:
needed to make a simple audio amplifier. The chip has functions for gain control
and bass boost, and it can also be turned into an oscillator capable of outputting
sine waves or square waves.
  (/id/How­to­Make­
The LM386 is a type of operational amplifier (Op­Amp). Operational amplifiers
have a basic task. They take an input potential (voltage) and produce an output
potential that is tens, hundreds, or thousands of times the magnitude of the input
15V­DC­to­220V­AC­Inverter/)
potential. In this circuit, the LM386 takes an audio input signal and increases its
potential anywhere from 20 to 200 times. That amplification is what is known as
the voltage gain.

Step 3: Implementation
Place LM386 ic on breadboard .
Connect battery snap to bread board.
Connect pin2 and pin4 of lm386 to ground

Connect a 10ohm resistor to pin5.
Connect another terminal of 10ohm resistor to 0.1uf capacitor and another
terminal of 0.1uf capacitor to +ve terminal of 9v battery.

Connect +ve terminal of 1000uf capactor in between 10ohm resistor and 0.1uf
capacitor.
Place potentiometer on bread board.
connect pin3 of lm386 to middile pin of potentiometer.

connect third terminal of potentiometre to ground.
Now connect 3.5mm audio jack L/R pin to first pin of potentiometer.
Ground terminal of 3.5mm jack to circuit ground.

connect +ve termnal of speaker to ­ve terminal of 1000uf capacitor and ­ve
terminal of speaker to ground.
short pin1 and pin8 of lm386.

connect pin6 of lm386 to +ve terminal of the battery.

hey can you post a video for recognising the ground and input terminals of a
headphone jack of a trrs audio plug and how to solder them together please???

Hello, i couldn't make a video but here you go:
TRRS connectors have an extra pin ( the 3rd pin ­ THE 2nd RING) which
is for 5 volts, for the microphone... So you don't have to worry about that
pin, all you need are the ground and either of the two ( LEFT AND RIGHT
SIGNAL ) as this is a mono amplifier.
1st pin : Left

2nd pin: Right
3rd pin: +5v
4th pin : Ground 
I hope it was helpful :D Checkout this instructable for more details :

Hi Junez, good work, but i had a question. I've seen many LM386 amps using a
220uF cap,instead of the 1000uf you've got on your schematic. What difference
does it make ? More bass ? More power ? Thanks for answering.

can I use a jrc 386d instead of lm386
