Semiconductor company NXP is walking the walk with its 1.2kW BLF578XR radio frequency power transistor.
These things go into powerful radio sources, and there was a time when any slip-up meant bye-bye component.
So turn the power on with no load, or jiggle the aerial connector, and you were walking back to the parts store...
NXP is so proud of its baby that it has made a video of engineers trying to break it (see aboe).
Applications are expected in industrial lasers, metal etching and concrete drilling.
