Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix Z against official Ampleon documentation to confirm packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm availability status as distribution channels may indicate regional sales restrictions. Ensure compatibility with SMD/SMT assembly processes given the reel packaging format.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high output power near 1.6 kW is required within the 1-450 MHz band. Evaluate the 177 V breakdown voltage against circuit supply requirements. Consider the +225 C maximum junction temperature for thermal management design in high-density RF modules.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ART series of LDMOS transistors from Ampleon. The series focuses on high-efficiency RF power amplification using silicon LDMOS technology. These devices are engineered for robustness in demanding radio frequency environments.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalent power levels and frequency ranges. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance characteristics before replacing existing designs.
