FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• Internal input matching to achieve high power gain and
easy design of wideband circuits
NPN silicon planar epitaxial transistor intended for
common emitter class-AB operation. The transistor is
encapsulated in a 6-lead SOT171A flange envelope with a
ceramic cap. All leads are isolated from the flange.
• Emitter ballasting resistors for an optimum temperature
profile
• Gold metallization ensures excellent reliability.
APPLICATIONS
• Base station transmitters in the 820 to 960 MHz range.

The components are located on one side of the PTFE fibre-glass board, the other side being fully metallized to serve as an earth. Earth connections
are made by fixing screws, hollow rivets and copper straps around the board and under the emitters to provide a direct contact between the component
side and the ground plane.
