Silicon NPN Planar RF Transistor
Description
The main purpose of this bipolar transistor is broad-
band amplification up to 2 GHz. In the space-saving
3-pin surface-mount SOT490 package electrical per-
formance and reliability are taken to a new level cov-
ering a smaller footprint on PC boards than previous
packages. In addition to space savings, the SOT490
provides a higher level of reliability than other 3-pin
packages, such as more resistance to moisture. Due
to the short length of its leads the SOT490 is also re-
ducing package inductances resulting in some better
electrical performance. All of these aspects make this
device an ideal choice for demanding RF applica-
tions.

Ozone Depleting Substances Policy Statement
It is the policy of
Vishay Semiconductor GmbH
to
1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements.
VISHAY
2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and
operatingsystems with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as
well as their impact on the environment.
It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are
known as ozone depleting substances (ODSs).
The Montreal Protocol (1987) and its London Amendments (1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs
and forbid their use within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an
earlier ban on these substances.
Vishay Semiconductor GmbH
has been able to use its policy of continuous improvements to eliminate the
use of ODSs listed in the following documents.
1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments
respectively
2. Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA
3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C (transitional substances) respectively.
Vishay Semiconductor GmbH
can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting
substances and do not contain such substances.
We reserve the right to make changes to improve technical design and may do so without further
notice.
Parameters can vary in different applications. All operating parameters must be validated for each
customer application by the customer. Should the buyer use Vishay Semiconductors products for any
unintended or unauthorized application, the buyer shall indemnify Vishay Seminconductors against all
claims, costs, damages, and expenses, arising out of, directly or indirectly, any claim of personal
damage, injury or death associated with such unintended or unauthorized use.
