Amplifiers - Discretes
Manufacturers & Services

Amplifier manufacturers listed here supply discrete devices, which generally are defined as basic amplifiers without all of the bias circuitry, and not in connectorized packages. They will typically be mounted to a printed circuit board on into a connectorized page at a higher assembly level.

Please select one of these other packaging options if this page does not have what you are looking for.
