Additional Details

The 2SC4116-Y(T5LND features a very low noise figure, typically around 1 dB at VHF frequencies, making it ideal for use in sensitive receiver applications. The collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) is typically around 15V. The collector current (IC) is typically 30mA. The transition frequency (fT) is typically around 6.5 GHz. It is typically housed in a small SOT-23 package. The high gain characteristic allows for efficient amplification of weak signals. The 'Y' likely denotes a specific gain range or characteristic. The epitaxial planar structure ensures high reliability and performance. Detailed specifications can be found in the Toshiba datasheet for this part number. The (T5LND) part might indicate tape and reel packaging information, or a specific production batch. This transistor is often used as the first stage amplifier in receivers to amplify weak signals picked up by the antenna while adding minimal noise. This ensures that the receiver can detect weak signals even in noisy environments.
