DESC RIPTIO N
The SD1888-03 is a 28 V Class C silicon NPN
transistor designed for INMARSAT and other 1.65
GHz SATCOM applications. Agold metallized emitter-ballasted die geometry is employed providing
high gain and efficiency while ensuring long term
reliability and ruggedness under severe operating
conditions. SD1888-03 is packaged in a cost-effective epoxy sealed housing
