MSB057
The transistor has a 4-lead, SOT123A
flange package, with a ceramic cap.
All leads are isolated from the flange.
A marking code, showing gate-source
voltage (VGS) information is provided
for matched pair applications. Refer
to the handbook 'General' section for
further information.
Fig.1 Simplified outline and symbol.
CAUTION
This product is supplied in anti-static packing to prevent damage caused by
electrostatic discharge during transport and handling. For further information,
refer to Philips specs.: SNW-EQ-608, SNW-FQ-302A, and SNW-FQ-302B.
