MLOTM RF-RF SMT Crossover
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MLOTM SMT RF-RF Crossover is a very low profile crossover that intersects an
RF and RF circuit trace in an SMT package. The RF-RF Crossover is a low cost
solution for applications where a critical RF circuit trace intersects a RF circuit
precluding the need for an expensive multilayer printed circuit board. The SMT
package can support frequencies up to 6 GHz. MLOTM crossovers have been
subjected to JEDEC reliability standards and 100% electrically tested. The RF-RF
crossovers are available in NiSn.

MOUNTING PROCEDURE
TM
2.5
MLO SMT crossovers require 50Ω
transmission lines leading to and from
all of the RF ports. Proper grounding is
required in order to ensure optimal
device performance. If these conditions
are not met then performance
parameters including insertion loss,
return loss and any isolation may not
meet published values. All of the MLOTM
components utilize castellated
interconnects which allow for high yield
assembly, expansion matched and
halogen free dielectric. When mounting
the user must be mindful of the
following: a) ensure the RF pads of the
device are in contact with the circuit
trace of the printed circuit board and b)
the ground plane of neither the
component nor the PCB is in contact
with the RF signal. Parts are specifically
oriented in the tape and reel.

MOUNTING FOOTPRINT
To ensure proper electrical and thermal performance there must be a ground plane
with 100% solder connection underneath the part.

AUTOMATED SMT ASSEMBLY
surface mount assembly of MLO TM RF devices onto the
PCB. Stencil thickness and aperture openings should be
adjusted according to the optimal solder volume. The
following are general recommendations for SMT mounting
of MLOTM devices onto the PCB.
The following section describes the guidelines for
automated SMT assembly of MLOTM RF devices which are
typically Land Grid Array (LGA) packages or side termination
SMT packages.
Control of solder and solder paste volume is critical for
SMT REFLOW PROFILE
and slower preheating time may be required to improve the
out-gassing of solder paste. In addition, the reflow profile
depends on the PCB density and the type of solder paste
used. Standard no-clean solder paste is generally
recommended. If another type of flux is used, complete
removal of flux residual may be necessary. Example of a
typical lead free reflow profile is shown below:
Common IR or convection reflow SMT processes shall be
used for the assembly. Standard SMT reflow profiles, for
eutectic and Pb free solders, can be used to surface mount
the MLO TM devices onto the PCB. In all cases, a
temperature gradient of 3°C/sec, or less, should be
maintained to prevent warpage of the package and to
ensure that all joints reflow properly. Additional soak time
