2SC2166 Original Pulled Mitsubishi Epitaxial Planar RF Transistor
$35.99
Original Mitsubishi 2SC2166 NPN silicon RF power transistor in the TO-220 style package. Commonly used in CB radio transmitters, RF driver stages, low-power RF amplifier circuits, communications equipment repairs, and restoration projects. This device includes the internal protection diode and remains a popular replacement component for maintaining vintage RF equipment.
Historical Note:
The 2SC2166 was widely used throughout the 1980s and 1990s in CB radio and communications equipment as an RF driver and low-power output transistor. Original Toshiba-produced devices are increasingly sought after by restorers and technicians maintaining legacy radio equipment.
