NE46234 /
2SC4703
NPN EPITAXIAL SILICON RF TRANSISTOR FOR
HIGH-FREQUENCY LOW DISTORTION AMPLIFIER
3-PIN POWER MINIMOLD
DESCRIPTION
NPN SILICON RF TRANSISTOR
JEITA
Part No.
The
NE46234 /
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
• Low distortion, low voltage: IM
