DESCRIPTION
NEC's NE461M02 is an NPN silicon epitaxial bipolar transistor
designed for medium power applications requiring high dynamic range and low intermodulation distortion. This device
offers excellent performance and reliability at low cost through
NEC's titanium, platinum, gold metallization system and direct
nitride passivation of the surface of the chip. The NE461M02
is an excellent choice for low noise amplifiers in the VHF to UHF
band and is suitable for CATV and other telecommunication
applications.

Subject: Compliance with EU Directives
CEL certifies, to its knowledge, that semiconductor and laser products detailed below are compliant
with the requirements of European Union (EU) Directive 2002/95/EC Restriction on Use of Hazardous
Substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) and the requirements of EU Directive
2003/11/EC Restriction on Penta and Octa BDE.
CEL Pb-free products have the same base part number with a suffix added. The suffix –A indicates
that the device is Pb-free. The –AZ suffix is used to designate devices containing Pb which are
exempted from the requirement of RoHS directive (*). In all cases the devices have Pb-free terminals.
All devices with these suffixes meet the requirements of the RoHS directive.
This status is based on CEL’s understanding of the EU Directives and knowledge of the materials that
go into its products as of the date of disclosure of this information.
