Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix TL-E to confirm tape and reel packaging quantities and lead times. Ensure the MCP package variant matches your PCB footprint requirements. Cross-reference the datasheet for absolute maximum ratings to prevent thermal overstress during operation. Confirm Pb-free status if environmental compliance is mandatory for your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing VHF circuits requiring an NPN transistor with a 1.5 GHz transition frequency. The 10 V rating suits low-voltage RF stages. Consider the 400 mW power dissipation limit for thermal management. The surface-mount format is ideal for compact designs. Evaluate the 13 dB gain specification against system noise figure requirements.
