1. Product profile

1.1 General description

N-channel symmetrical silicon junction field-effect transistors in a SOT23 package.
CAUTION
MSC895

1.2 Features

■ Low leakage level (typ. 500 fA)
■ High gain
■ Low cut-off voltage.
This device is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Therefore care should be taken during transport and handling.

1.3 Applications

■ VHF amplifiers in oscillators and mixers.
