Additional Details

The 2SK679A is characterized by its low noise figure, making it ideal for amplifying weak signals without adding significant noise. Its high input impedance ensures that the JFET does not load the signal source, preserving the signal's amplitude and frequency characteristics. The low input capacitance allows the device to operate effectively at higher frequencies. The high transconductance provides a large output signal for a small change in input voltage, resulting in high gain.

Technical Specifications (typical):

• Drain-Source Voltage (VDS): Typically 25V
