Identifies the company that designed and produced the component. Buyers often filter by manufacturer to ensure brand reliability, quality standards, and supply chain consistency. Verify the manufacturer against the datasheet and official packaging to avoid counterfeit parts.

Minimum transition frequency of a transistor. This is the lowest guaranteed frequency at which the current gain falls to unity. It ensures the device will operate at the required speed in high-frequency circuits. Engineers use it to select components for RF and fast switching. Confirm with the datasheet's test conditions.

Minimum transition frequency of a transistor, where current gain drops to unity. This indicates high-frequency capability. For RF and high-speed switching circuits, a higher fT is essential. Check the datasheet for the test conditions and ensure it meets your bandwidth requirements.

Maximum collector-emitter voltage for a bipolar transistor. This is the highest voltage that can be applied between collector and emitter without breakdown. Engineers compare this to the operating voltage to ensure a safe margin. Always verify against the datasheet for the specific part.
