UHF power transistor
DESCRIPTION
N-P-N silicon planar epitaxial
transistor intended for transmitting
applications in class-A, B or C in the
u.h.f. and v.h.f. range for a nominal
supply voltages up to 13,5 V.
The resistance stabilization of the
transistor provides protection against
device damage at severe load
mismatch conditions.
The transistor is housed in a
1
⁄
4
"
capstan envelope with a ceramic cap.
