OREANDA-NEWS. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that from September 1 it will begin shipping samples of its model RD04LUS2 high-power metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), which is designed for use in high-frequency power amplifiers of commercial two-way radio devices.

The model offers industry-leading 4W output when using a 3.6V Li-ion 1-cell battery. Mitsubishi Electric will initially produce 200,000 units per month.

While the popularization of mobile phones has led to 3.6V Li-ion batteries costing less than traditional 7.2V batteries, the need for a higher-power MOSFET arose because lower-voltage batteries decrease the MOSFET's output power. Mitsubishi Electric has now met this demand with its new MOSFET, which offers unmatched 4W output power using a 3.6V battery.
