Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix -T1-A indicates tape and reel packaging containing one thousand pieces per reel. Confirm the -A suffix denotes lead-free compliance with RoHS directives. Ensure the component matches the original NEC or current CEL manufacturing specifications. Validate that the package outline corresponds to the 79A surface mount configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this device for applications requiring high linearity and moderate power levels in the L and S bands. Consider the 5°C/W thermal resistance for heatsinking requirements. Evaluate the 3.5V to 6.0V recommended operating limits against system power supplies. Assess the 10 dB typical linear gain for matching network design needs.
