NTE16003 Silicon NPN Transistor RF Power Output, PO = 7W, 175MHz Description: The NTE16003 is an RF power transistor in a TO60 type case that employs a multi emitter electrode design. This feature together with a heavily diffused base matrix located between the individual emitters results in high RF current handling capability, high power gain, low base resistance, and low output capacitance. This device is intended for Class A, B, or C amplifier, oscillator, or frequency multiplier circuits and is specifically designed for operation in the VHF–UHF region.
