Additional Details

The TP-101-PIN exhibits a low forward resistance and low reverse capacitance, making it ideal for high-frequency applications. The specific characteristics (e.g., forward resistance, reverse capacitance, switching speed) depend on the operating conditions (e.g., bias current, voltage). It is designed for operation across a wide range of frequencies, typically from VHF to microwave frequencies. The device is typically packaged in a small surface-mount package to minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance. Its operating temperature typically ranges from -55°C to +125°C.
