UHF power transistor DESCRIPTION N-P-N silicon planar epitaxial transistor intended for transmitting applications in class-A, B or C in the u.h.f. and v.h.f. range for a nominal supply voltages up to 13,5 V. The resistance stabilization of the transistor provides protection against device damage at severe load mismatch conditions.
BLW81 The transistor is housed in a 1⁄4" capstan envelope with a ceramic cap.
