Please help to identify the transistor (or amplifier) - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hello all.

I need help in identifying the following transistors/amplifiers (see links to the photos below). They differ only in the marking (on the first the marking is "2n" and on the second "2i" or "2t").

I've tried to search according to the marking ana have not find anything.

The components are used inside voltage control oscillators (VCO) designed for high frequencies (4 - 6 GHz) and for 1 GHz bandwidth each.

Every VCO has only one of this component.

The VCO is a regular Colpitts oscillator and the component (I'm trying to find out its P/N) is actually the transistor used to provide the negative resistance.

As could be seen at the photos the component has four leads, one of them is not used. The other three are used as Emitter, Collector and Base of bipolar transistor.

I need the manufacturer of these parts and part numbers if possible.

I will appreciate your help!

Vitaly

hello vitaly,

It is very difficult to idetify this parts.

You must try to give us more information.

I know some transistors has more details in there side like these example :
