UHF linear power transistor
DESCRIPTION
N-P-N silicon planar epitaxial
transistor primarily intended for use in
linear u.h.f. amplifiers
for television
transmitters and transposers. The
excellent d.c. dissipation
properties
for class-A operation are
obtained by means of diffused emitter
ballasting resistors and a multi-base
structure, providing an optimum
temperature profile on the crystal
area. The combination of optimum
thermal design and the application of
gold sandwich metallization
realizes excellent reliability
properties.
The transistor has a
1
⁄
4
" capstan
envelope with ceramic cap.
