DESCRIPTION
NEC's NE021 series of NPN silicon transistors provides eco-
nomical solutions to wide ranges of amplifier and oscillator
problems. Low noise and high current capability provide low
intermodulation distortion. The NE021 series is available as a
chip or in several package styles. The series uses the NEC
gold, platinum, titanium, and platinum-silicide metallization
system to provide the utmost in reliability. NE02107 is avail-
able in both common-base and common-emitter configura-
tions and has been qualified for high-reliability space applica-
tions.
