[Amps] Ratings of the VRF2933 RF power MOSFETS

[Leigh Turner]

Larry, the Microsemi VRF2933 has a 170 Volt VDD breakdown voltage and 648
Watt power dissipation, and when operated with a 48 V rail there's plenty of
safety headroom for potentially damaging high voltage excursions. I've never
had a failure of these rugged and virtually bullet-proof devices.

Leigh,

Thanks for that info.

There are some used ones on ebay right now but used transistors scare me.

I was hoping for a lead on some of the later generation devices which 
are spec'd to survive 60:1 SWR or so.
