DESCRIPTION
Depletion type field effect transistor in a plastic
microminiature SOT143B or SOT143R package with
source and substrate interconnected. The transistors are
protected against excessive input voltage surges by
integrated back-to-back diodes between gates and
source.
CAUTION
The device is supplied in an antistatic package. The
gate-source input must be protected against static
discharge during transport or handling.
