NPN 3.5 GHz wideband transistor BFR94A
DESCRIPTION
NPN resistance-stabilized transistor
in a SOT122E capstan envelope.
It features extremely low cross
modulation, intermodulation and
second order intermodulation
distortion. Due to its high transition
frequency, it has a high power gain, in
conjunction with good wideband

It is primarily intended for CATV and
MATV applications.
The BFR94A is a replacement for the
BFR94. The SOT122E footprint is
similar to that of the SOT48, used for
