Additional Details:

The 2SK141A typically comes in a through-hole package. It operates with a drain-source voltage (VDS) and gate-source voltage (VGS) suitable for low-noise amplification. The device is characterized by its low noise voltage, typically in the range of a few nanovolts per root hertz (nV/√Hz) at relevant frequencies. The high input impedance ensures that the JFET has minimal impact on the preceding circuit. The high transconductance provides good voltage gain, which improves overall amplifier performance.
