AN-60-071

APPLICATION NOTE
ZHL‐42+ PCN Report AN‐60‐071 As a result of the introduction of a RoHS compliant version (+), non heatsink version, and assembly option at an alternate qualified Mini‐Circuits facility, the replacement part has been judged by the Mini‐Circuits Engineering team as a suitable replacement for the existing ZHL‐42a. CASE STYLE ORIGINAL PART: ZHL‐42 REPLACEMENT PART: ZHL‐42+ CASE STYLE: U36 (heatsink version only) CASE STYLE: No change for heatsink version U36 (non heatsink & heatsink versions) a.
Suitability within a particular system must be determined by and is solely the responsibility of the customer based on, among other things,
electrical performance criteria, stimulus conditions, application, compatibility with other components and environmental conditions and
stresses.
