For soldering methods and conditions other than those recommended below, contact your NEC sales representative. Soldering Method Soldering Conditions Recommended Condition Symbol Infrared Reflow Package peak temperature: 230°C or below IR30-00-3 Time: 30 seconds or less (at 210°C) Note Count: 3, Exposure limit VPS : None Package peak temperature: 215°C or below VP15-00-3 Time: 40 seconds or less (at 200°C) Note Count: 3, Exposure limit Wave Soldering : None Soldering bath temperature: 260°C or below WS60-00-1 Time: 10 seconds or less Note Count: 1, Exposure limit Partial Heating : None Pin temperature: 230°C Time: 10 seconds or less (per pin row) Note Exposure limit – : None Note After opening the dry pack, keep it in a place below 25°C and 65% RH for the allowable storage period. Caution Do not use different soldering methods together (except for partial heating). PRECAUTION Avoid high static voltage and electric fields, because this device is Hetero Junction field effect transistor with shottky barrier gate. Preliminary Data Sheet 13 NE38018 [MEMO] Preliminary Data Sheet 14 NE38018 [MEMO] Preliminary Data Sheet 15 NE38018 Caution The Great Care must be taken in dealing with the devices in this guide. The reason is that the material of the devices is GaAs (Gallium Arsenide), which is designated as harmful substance according to the law concerned. Keep the law concerned and so on, especially in case of removal. No part of this document may be copied or reproduced in any form or by any means without the prior written consent of NEC Corporation. NEC Corporation assumes no responsibility for any errors which may appear in this document. NEC Corporation does not assume any liability for infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of third parties by or arising from use of a device described herein or any other liability arising from use of such device. No license, either express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NEC Corporation or others. While NEC Corporation has been making continuous effort to enhance the reliability of its semiconductor devices, the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage or injury to persons or property arising from a defect in an NEC semiconductor device, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in its design, such as redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features. NEC devices are classified into the following three quality grades: "Standard", "Special", and "Specific". The Specific quality grade applies only to devices developed based on a customer designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of a device depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each device before using it in a particular application. Standard: Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment and industrial robots Special: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed for life support) Specific: Aircrafts, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life support systems or medical equipment for life support, etc. The quality grade of NEC devices is "Standard" unless otherwise specified in NEC's Data Sheets or Data Books. If customers intend to use NEC devices for applications other than those specified for Standard quality grade, they should contact an NEC sales representative in advance. Anti-radioactive design is not implemented in this product. M4 96. 5
