I know this is mildly off topic but I've run out of places to look so I'll ask
here. Recently I found a bunch of new HP microwave transitors in a pile of surplus scrap.
I'd not sure what you call this package but the transistor is about 1/16" in size
and it has four leads sticking out radially. Each lead is about 1/4" long. Their part
number is TXVT-2101 and I can't find a number remotely like that on HP's or
Agilent's websites. A Google search also failed to find anything. Each transistor is
in an individual box and each is serial numbered and has the gain written on it. I think
they date from about 1983 but I'm not positive about that. They're obviously
expensive parts and I'd like to find out more about them. Can anyone help?
