Greetings everyone. Does anybody know any good really low noise smd npn transistors that are still in production?
It all started when I had built my first "carcasza" fuzz and then found out that 2n508x transistors which are supposed to be used in this project are causing way too much noise despite "low noise" characteristics in their datasheets. I've managed to find some ztx1048a — these are causing much less noise but they are hard to find and way too pricey. Now I want to build this fuzz again and I got a handful of SMD sot323 adapter boards, so I am looking for SMD npn transistors with ~500 hfe and noise level significantly lower compared to 2n5088/2n5089 (2-3 dB under IC = 100 Adc, VCE = 5.0 Vdc, RS = 1.0 kOhm, f = 1.0 kHz).
Any advices? Thanks in advance.
