RF Power Transistors 40608
RCA-40608 is an epitaxial silicon n-p-n planar transistor. It is especially designed for operation as a Class A. wide-band power amplifier in VHF circuits.
The features of high gain-bandwidth product and low cross-modulation make the 40608 especially suited for use in CATV and MATV systems.
