DESCRIPTION
MSB057
Silicon N-channel enhancement
mode vertical D-MOS transistor
designed for professional transmitter
applications in the HF/VHF frequency
range.
Fig.1 Simplified outline and symbol.
CAUTION
The transistor is encapsulated in a
4-lead, SOT123 flange envelope, with
a ceramic cap. All leads are isolated
from the flange.
The device is supplied in an antistatic package. The gate-source input must
be protected against static charge during transport and handling.
