Panel attachment

TOTX178A has hole for panel attachment. Please be sure to attach it to panel with self−tapping

screw.

(7)

Solvent

When using solvent for flux removal, do not use a high acid or high alkali solvent. Be careful not to

pour solvent in to the optical connector ports. If solvent is inadvertently poured in to them, clean it off

using cotton tips.

(8)

Protective cap

When the TOTX178A is not in use, attach the protective cap.

(9)

Supply voltage

that supply voltage does not exceed the maximum rating value of 7 V, even for an instant.

(10) Input voltage

the internal IC may suffer damage. If there is a possibility that excessive voltage due to surges may

be added to the input terminal, insert a protective circuit.

(11) Soldering condition

Solder at 260°C or less for no more than ten seconds.

(12) Precautions when disposing of devices and packing materials.

When disposing devices and packing materials, follow the procedures stipulated by local regulations

in order to protect the environment against contamination.

Compound semiconductors such, as GaAs are used as LED materials in this module. When devices

are disposed of, worker safety and protection of the environment must be taken into account.

(13) Precautions during use

Toshiba is continually working to improve the quality and reliability of their products. Nevertheless,

semiconductor devices in general can malfunction or fail due to their inherent electrical sensitivity

and their vulnerability to physical stress. It is the responsibility of the buyer, when utilizing Toshiba

products, to observe standards of safety, and to avoid situations in which the malfunction or failure of

a Toshiba product could cause loss of human life, bodily injury or damage to property.

When developing equipment, please ensure that Toshiba products are used within the specified

operating ranges set forth in the most recent product specifications. Also, please keep in mind the

precautions and conditions set forth in the Toshiba Semiconductor Reliability Handbook.
