Recommended that space is 2.0 to 3.0 mm typical. (2) 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) All the ground pins must be connected together with wide ground pattern to decrease impedance difference. RECOMMENDED SOLDERING CONDITIONS This product should be soldered and mounted under the following recommended conditions. For soldering methods and conditions other than those recommended below, contact your nearby sales office. Soldering Method Partial Heating Soldering Conditions Peak temperature (pin temperature) : 350°C or below Soldering time (per pin of device) Recommended Condition Symbol Note : 3 seconds or less Note The point of pin part heating must be kept more than 1.2 mm distance from the root of lead. 4 Data Sheet PG10674EJ01V0DS − MC-7896 • The information in this document is current as of July, 2007.
