BLU56 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Philips BLU56 is an NPN silicon planar epitaxial transistor specifically designed for use in mobile radio equipment operating within the 470 MHz communications band. Encapsulated in a SOT-223 surface mounted envelope, this UHF power transistor offers emitter-ballasting resistors for an optimized temperature profile and utilizes gold metallization to ensure excellent reliability.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a collector-base breakdown voltage of 36V and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 16V. It can handle a peak collector current of up to 600mA at frequencies above 1 MHz, with a maximum continuous or average collector current of 200mA. The total power dissipation is rated at 2W at 105°C soldering point temperature.

 

This transistor is suitable for applications requiring robust performance in the UHF frequency range. Its SOT-223 package facilitates surface mounting, making it convenient for integration into compact electronic designs. The design prioritizes temperature stability and long-term reliability, crucial for communication systems.
