NTE476
Silicon NPN Transistor
RF Power Output
Description:
The NTE476 is a silicon epitaxial NPN–planar transistor which employs a multi–emitter electrode design. This feature together with a heavily dif fused base matrix located between the individual emitters
result in high RF current handling capability, high power gain, low base resistance and low output capacitance. This device is intended for use as a Class A, B or C amplifier and in oscillator and frequency
multiplier circuits.
Features:
D Designed for VHF mobile and marine transmitters
D High efficiency at maximum stability
D Improved metallization to achieve extreme ruggedness
