Comparison

• Designed specifically for high power amplifiers in the HF band.
• Can handle high collector currents up to 15 A.
• Has a high transition frequency of 40 MHz.
• Has a high power dissipation capacity of 150 W.

• It has a relatively low DC current gain when compared to similar transistors in its class.
• Although it has a high power dissipation capacity, it may still require a heatsink to adequately dissipate heat under continuous high-power operation.
