APPLICATIONS
These high speed beam lead PIN diodes are designed for stripline and microstrip
circuits and are primarily used in shunt/series and conventional series multithrow
configurations as switching, attenuating and phase shifting elements with
frequencies extending up to Ku band.

Semiconductor mesa beam lead PIN diodes are designed for very low inductance,
low resistance and moderately low capacitance with ultra fast switching
characteristics. The structural details include thermal oxide junction passivation thus
providing reliable operation with stable junction parameters along with ceramic
glass, which provides mechanical strength to the diode. These devices are designed
with a narrow base width, a high quality intrinsic ‘I’ layer that provides low loss, high
isolation and ultra high speed switching characteristics.

These devices are supplied with Gold
plated terminations. Consult factory for
