2N3563 RF/IF Transistor - High-Frequency Amplification & Oscillators

The 2N3563 is a silicon NPN transistor built specifically for very-high-frequency (VHF) applications, offering a high transition frequency and low noise for its era. It is commonly found in vintage and current RF front-ends, IF amplifier stages, and local oscillator circuits where fast switching and stable gain at radio frequencies are required.

Functions & Applications

  • High Transition Frequency (ft): Around 600MHz, suitable for VHF amplifier and oscillator design.
  • Metal TO-106 Package: Compact epoxy/metal case with good RF shielding characteristics for its class.
  • Low Noise Operation: Well suited to sensitive RF/IF front-end and receiver amplifier stages.
  • Fast Switching: Useful in high-speed switching circuits beyond pure RF amplification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the 2N3563 mainly used for?
A: It is an RF/IF small-signal NPN transistor used in VHF amplifier stages, oscillators, and other high-frequency switching or amplification circuits, not general-purpose low-frequency work.

Q: What are the maximum voltage and current ratings of the 2N3563?
A: It supports a maximum Vcbo of 30V, Vceo of 12V, and a maximum collector current of about 50mA, so it is intended for low-power RF stages rather than high-current switching.

Notes

This is a legacy/vintage RF transistor design, still available as NOS or from select manufacturers; stock may be limited compared to modern equivalents.
