MPLUSE 2N2857

Silicon Bipolar Low Noise
Microwave Transistors
2N2857
Case Style TO-72 CAN (509)
Features
• High Gain (19dB Typical @ 450 MHz)
• Low Noise Figure At Low Ic
• Gold Metalization
• Useful To 700 MHz
• Can be Screened to JANTX, JANTXV Equivalent Levels
• Excellent Reliability
Description
Designed especially for low cost, high reliability type
applications, this NPN Silicon Planar Transistor offers
low noise, high gain performance, which meets or
exceeds all JAN specifications. These devices can be
fully tested and screened in accordance with MIL-MRF19500 procedures. A 1.8 GHz current gain-bandwidth
product (f T) is typical for this device. The transistors are
rugged and employ gold metalization for an
unprecedented reliability.
Applications
IF, VHF, UHF, TV and RF amplifiers.
