Transistor BF180 NPN, UHF TO-72
BF180 UHF Transistor – High-Frequency Silicon Amplifier for TV & Radio
The BF180 is a classic NPN silicon transistor designed for UHF front-end applications. Its integrated shield can (4th lead bonded to the case) provides excellent noise rejection, making it the preferred choice for TV tuner preamplifiers and sensitive RF mixers operating in the UHF band.
Functions & Applications
- Integrated Shield Can: 4th lead bonded to the TO-72 case provides superior RF shielding and noise reduction.
- Silicon Reliability: Superior to older germanium designs—no thermal leakage or temperature drift; stable picture quality.
- UHF Optimized: Designed specifically for TV tuner front-ends and antenna preamplifiers (channels 21–69).
- Low-Noise Amplification: Ideal for weak-signal RF applications and sensitive mixer stages.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Value / Specification |
|---|---|
| Transistor Type | BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) |
| Polarity / Channel | NPN |
| Package / Case | TO-72 |
| Collector-Emitter Voltage (Vceo) | 20V |
| Max Collector Current (Ic) | 30mA |
| Mounting Type | Through-Hole (THT), 4-lead TO-72 with shield |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between BF180 and older germanium AF transistors?
A: The BF180 is silicon-based, eliminating thermal leakage and temperature sensitivity of germanium designs. This provides a cleaner, more stable signal—critical for TV tuner applications.
Q: Can the BF180 be used outside the TV tuner frequency range?
A: While optimized for UHF (channels 21–69), the BF180 can work at lower RF frequencies. Always check the datasheet for your specific application frequency and impedance matching requirements.
Notes
Vintage/NOS stock. The TO-72 package with integrated shield can is now rare; suitable for restoration projects and legacy TV/radio tuner circuits.
Note: Price refers to one (1) piece. The component is shipped in bulk without individual packaging.
