2N4124 MMBT4124
NPN General Purpose Amplifier
This device is designed as a general purpose amplifier and switch.
The useful dynamic range extends to 100 mA as a switch and to
100 MHz as an amplifier.
Absolute Maximum Ratings* T A = 25°C unless otherwise noted
*These ratings are limiting values above which the serviceability of any semiconductor device may be impaired.
NOTES:
1) These ratings are based on a maximum junction temperature of 150 degrees C.
2) These are steady state limits. The factory should be consulted on applications involving pulsed or low duty cycle operations.
Thermal Characteristics T A = 25°C unless otherwise noted
*Device mounted on FR-4 PCB 1.6" X 1.6" X 0.06."
