NPN SILICON RF TRANSISTOR
2SC4703
NPN EPITAXIAL SILICON RF TRANSISTOR FOR
HIGH-FREQUENCY LOW DISTORTION AMPLIFIER
3-PIN POWER MINIMOLD
DESCRIPTION
The 2SC4703 is designed for low distortion, low noise RF amplifier operating with low supply voltage (V
CE
= 5 V).
This low distortion characteristic makes it suitable for CATV, tele-communication and other use. It employs surface
mount type plastic package, power minimold (SOT-89).
FEATURES
