FEATURES
• multi-base structure and emitter-ballasting resistors for
an optimum temperature profile
• internal input matching to achieve an optimum wideband
capability and high power gain
• gold metallization ensures excellent reliability.
The transistor has a 6-lead flange envelope with a ceramic
cap (SOT-171). All leads are isolated from the flange.
