MPQ2483 TIN/LEAD

Overview

The MPQ2483 TIN/LEAD is a quad NPN low noise transistor array manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. It utilizes the TO-116 case with 14-pin DIP packaging. The device integrates four identical die, providing a total power dissipation of 3.0 Watts at 25°C. Key electrical characteristics include a collector-base breakdown voltage (BV_CBO) of 60V and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage (BV_CEO) of 40V. The typical current gain (h_FE) is 150 at an IC of 10mA and VCE of 8V. The input capacitance (C_ob) is typically 10pF.

Feature Summary

• Quad NPN configuration for compact circuit integration
• Low noise design optimized for signal amplification
