NPN 6 GHz wideband transistor
FEATURES
•
High power gain
•
Emitter-ballasting resistors for
good thermal stability
•
Gold metallization ensures
excellent reliability.
DESCRIPTION
Silicon NPN transistor mounted in a
4-lead dual-emitter SOT172A1.
envelope with a ceramic cap. All
leads are isolated from the mounting
base.
It is primarily intended for use in
MATV and CATV amplifiers.
