2N3418S thru 2N3421S
NPN MEDIUM POWER SILICON
TRANSISTOR
Qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/393
DESCRIPTION
This family of high-frequency, epitaxial planar transistors feature low saturation voltage.
These devices are also available in TO-5 and low profile U4 packages. Microsemi also offers
numerous other transistor products to meet higher and lower power ratings with various
switching speed requirements in both through-hole and surface-mount packages.
Available on
commercial
versions
