Product Overview
The RD15HVF1‑101 is N‑Channel enhancement‑mode RF power MOSFET from Mitsubishi Electric. Optimized for 12.5V mobile radio systems, it delivers 15W output power across VHF up to 520 MHz. It features excellent gain, high drain efficiency and robust 20.1:1 VSWR load‑mismatch tolerance. Packaged in TO‑220S flange‑mount through‑hole housing, suffix‑101 denotes RoHS‑compliant lead‑forming / tray packaging variant for communication transmitters.
Core Advantages
Broad Frequency Coverage
Supports 175 MHz VHF band and extends to 520 MHz UHF range, 15W typical output power under 12.5V supply condition.
Good Gain & Efficiency Performance
Typical 14 dB gain and 60% drain efficiency at 175 MHz; 7 dB gain and 55% efficiency at 520 MHz for radio transmitter application.
High Load Mismatch Ruggedness
Capable of enduring full‑phase 20.1:1 VSWR without device damage under rated operating condition, improves field reliability for mobile radio equipment.
TO‑220S Flange Package
Flange‑mount through‑hole package with low thermal resistance Rth(j‑c)=2.6 ℃/W, easy heatsink installation for high‑power continuous‑wave operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does suffix “-101” mean for RD15HVF1‑101?
A: “-101” is Mitsubishi mechanical suffix for lead forming and tray packaging. It supports RoHS compliance and will not change any electrical performance of the chip.
Q2: What is the difference between RD15HVF1 and RD15HVF1‑101?
A: The die and RF performance are identical. RD15HVF1‑101 uses formed leads with RoHS tray packing. They are pin‑to‑pin compatible for replacement.
Q3: What are main operating conditions of RD15HVF1‑101?
A: Nominal drain supply is 12.5V DC. It works from 1MHz to 520MHz, delivering typical 15W RF output power under test conditions.
Q4: Can other RF MOSFET directly substitute RD15HVF1‑101?
A: There is no drop‑in replacement. RD16HHF1 can be evaluated for higher‑power projects, but it has different pinout, gain and bias requirements. Matching circuits need re‑tuning after replacement.
Q5: Do I have to use heatsink for RD15HVF1‑101?
A: Heatsink is mandatory. Fasten the TO‑220S flange to qualified heatsink with thermal grease. Insufficient cooling will cause permanent device damage under full‑power operation.
Q6: What is the pin assignment of RD15HVF1‑101?
A: Pin1‑Gate, Pin2‑Source, Pin3‑Drain, Tab‑Source. Double‑check pin definition before soldering to avoid burn‑out caused by wrong connection.
Q7: Is RD15HVF1‑101 fit for CW and FM transmitters?
A: Yes, designed for FM land mobile radio, also supports CW mode. Please follow maximum junction temperature and VSWR limits in your system design.
Q8: How can I get datasheet or bulk price?
A: Submit the inquiry form on this page. Our sales‑engineering team will send datasheet, stock confirmation and competitive bulk quotation within 24 hours.
