California Eastern Laboratories - CEL Bipolar RF Transistors NE46234-T1-AZ

The NE46234-T1-AZ is an NPN epitaxial silicon RF transistor in a 3-pin Power MiniMold (SOT-89) surface mount package, designed for low-distortion, low-noise amplification at low supply voltages. It has a collector-to-emitter voltage rating of 12 V, a maximum collector current of 150 mA, and a total power dissipation of 1.8 W when mounted on a specified ceramic substrate. The device exhibits a gain-bandwidth product of 6.0 GHz, a typical noise figure of 2.3 dB at 1 GHz, and intermodulation distortion performance of 55 dBc (IM2) and 76 dBc (IM3) at 5 V and 50 mA. The marking distinguishes hFE bins of 50-100, 80-160, or 125-250, but the package and electrical ratings are consistent across the NE46234/2SC4703 series. The part meets no specified industry standards beyond its documented operational parameters.
