Philips Semiconductors Product specification
VHF power transistor BLW87
DESCRIPTION
N-P-N silicon planar epitaxial
transistor intended for use in class-A,
B and C operated mobile h.f. and
v.h.f. transmitters with a nominal
supply voltage of 13,5 V. The
transistor is resistance stabilized and
is guaranteed to withstand severe
load mismatch conditions with a
supply over-voltage to 16,5 V.
