Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the operating frequency of BLF888B?
A: It targets UHF band 470 MHz‑860 MHz for broadcast applications.
Q2: What is peak output power for BLF888B?
A: 650 W peak power under 50 V nominal supply voltage.
Q3: Difference among BLF888A, BLF888B, BLF888AS, BLF888BS?
A: Pin‑to‑pin mechanically compatible. A/AS:600W; B/BS:650W. S suffix = ear‑less flat‑flange package. BLF888A/B:SOT‑539A(with lugs); BLF888AS/BS:SOT‑539B(earless). Electrical parameters differ, circuit retuning is mandatory before replacement.
Q4: Installation notes for SOT‑539A package?
A: Mount flange tightly onto flat high‑efficiency heatsink with quality thermal grease for CW high‑power heat dissipation.
Q5: Temperature limits for BLF888B?
A: Max junction Tj up to +200°C; storage temperature ‑65°C ~ +150°C. Avoid long‑term operation near maximum junction temperature.
Q6: Can BLF888A replace BLF888B directly?
A: Mechanically pin‑compatible, but BLF888A only 600W. Gain and linearity differ. Direct swap without circuit re‑testing is not allowed.
Q7: How to get datasheet and bulk quotation?
A: Submit quick inquiry for datasheet, reference circuit, stock status and volume price.
