Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does the “NT1” suffix mean in MRF1511NT1?
A: “N” refers to lead‑free revised version. “T1” stands for 7‑inch tape‑and‑reel for SMT assembly. Tray‑packed variants are available for this series.
Q2: What frequency does MRF1511NT1 support?
A: Designed for broadband VHF/UHF, maximum operating frequency up to 175 MHz, mainly for land mobile radio systems.
Q3: Can MRF1511NT1 directly replace MRF1508T1?
A: Both are 8 W PLD‑1.5 LDMOS, but not pin‑to‑pin drop‑in replacements. MRF1511NT1 is for VHF up to 175 MHz; MRF1508T1 targets UHF up to 520 MHz, with different internal matching circuits.
Q4: Is MRF1511NT1 still in production?
A: This part is obsolete (EOL). NXP last‑order date was April 2020. Our stock is original surplus for repair and legacy‑equipment replacement; not recommended for new designs.
Q5: Are there pin‑compatible drop‑in alternatives?
A: No fully direct drop‑in substitute. Submit an inquiry with your frequency, supply voltage and output‑power requirements, we can recommend suitable candidate parts for reference.
Q6: How to get datasheet, circuit schematic or bulk price?
A: Send your request via inquiry form. Our RF support team will return datasheet, stock confirmation and quotation within 24 hours.
