Recommended torque strength of the screw is 59 to 78 Ncm. (3) Form the ground pattern as wide as possible to minimize ground impedance. (to prevent undesired oscillation) D Recommended that space is 2.0 to 3.0 mm typical. (2) RECOMMENDED SOLDERING CONDITIONS UE All the ground pins must be connected together with wide ground pattern to decrease impedance difference. This product should be soldered in the following recommended conditions. Other soldering methods and conditions than the recommended conditions are to be consulted with our sales representatives. Soldering Method Pin area temperature : less than 350C Note O NT IN Pin Part Heating Soldering Conditions Condition Symbol Hour : Within 3 sec./pin DI SC Note The point of pin part heating must be kept more than 1.2 mm distance from the root of lead. 4 Data Sheet PG10139EJ02V0DS MC-7846 Caution GaAs Products This product uses gallium arsenide (GaAs).
