DESCRIPTION
NECs NE021 series of NPN silicon transistors provides economical solutions to wide ranges of amplifier and oscillator problems. Low noise and high current capability provide wide dynamic ranges; the excellent linearity of S21 with collector current assures low low intermodulation distortion. The NE021 series is available as a chip or in several package styles. The series uses the NEC gold, platinum, titanium, and platinum-silicide metallization system to provide the utmost in reliability.
