DESCRIPTION
BLV958; BLV958FL
NPN silicon planar epitaxial transistors primarily intended
for common emitter class-AB operation. The transistors
have internal input and output matching by means of MOS
capacitors. The encapsulations are a 2-lead rectangular
SOT391A flange package and a SOT391B flangeless
package, both with a ceramic cap.
