ERF2030+ new version indestructible?

Robert,
sorry but I cannot say that I do.
LeapFrog I copy that. Went to run a fire dozer this year back there. Saw a CL add from Roanoke that posted amplifier equipment/parts. So I was intrigued and called. A man named Sam answered the phone. He said that he was and electronics engineer(in the RF world) and that I could not pick up what he had in less than semi. Which I have at the tax payers expense but, bad form.
 
Interesting, so he had a large load to be delivered, and Uncle Sam employs you to drive?

Sorry, I'm having a hard time following along with the tax payer's bit, and nothing less than a semi-truck could haul his load?
or
His form was no good, as in paper work? Or was it, you driving a load such as that would be in bad form?

Copy. He was one of the people that made many on the small to large radio assistants. Yes I drive large truck and trailer combinations for the Gov't and also haul and operate the Fire Bulldozer I haul.

That much stuff. Vari caps, micas, boards and you name it. It would have been bad form on assignment to that.
 
Okay, 10-4.
Would be a lot of components to ship, without a doubt!

Thank you for the clarification Robert, operating the Fire Dozer that you haul must be one heck of a privilege considering who your employer is. Sounds like a nice gig for sure, I hear the Government is issuing pardons for ("minor offenses") I would be happy and feel lucky to be able to enlist, I've always felt kind of bummed out when the recruiter turned me down for some things that happened in my early 20's, guess I didn't grow up fast enough.
 
DESCRIPTION:
Third generation Power MOSFETs from Vishay provide the designer with the best combination of fast switching, ruggedized device design, low on-resistance and cost-effectiveness. The TO-220AB package is universally preferred for all commercial-industrial applications at power dissipation levels to approximately 50 W. The low thermal resistance and low package cost of the TO-220AB contribute...

ERF2030+ = SiHF520 ?? {how cool, they even put HF in the name}
;)
You might be onto something.

You must have got caught. I got lucky.
 
My apologies also there, RabbiPorkChop.
I think if you order bulk you can get them customized, like if I contacted the manufacturer and wanted a thousand units, they could silkscreen a Bat-Man logo on it or what ever I wanted! ..And then they would be super-rare "Bat-Man Transistors" years down the road, lol.. :sneaky:

So yeah, I don't know Sam, or any of the gentlemen at Palomar; but I do like the SiHF520!
