FPNH10
NPN RF Transistor
This device is designed for use in low noise UHF/VHF amplifiers,
with collector currents in the 100
A to 20 mA range in common
emitter or common base mode of operations, and in low frequency
drift, high output UHF oscillators. Sourced from Process 42.

These ratings are limiting values above which the serviceability of any semiconductor device may be impaired.
NOTES:
1) These ratings are based on a maximum junction temperature of 150 degrees C.
2) These are steady state limits. The factory should be consulted on applications involving pulsed or low duty cycle operations.
