Description

M/A-COM Technology Solutions product line of

MELF, PIN diodes, encompass a comprehensive

range of electrical characteristics. The chip used in

the MADP-000504-10720T is manufactured using

a unique, CERMACHIP, passivation process which

provides for a hard glass encapsulation that

protects and hermetically seals the active area of

the chip. This packaged, CERMACHIP, PIN diode

is ideally suited for use in applications where high

RF and DC voltages are present.

The chip is enclosed in a rugged, ceramic, Metal

Electrode Leadless Faced (MELF), surface mount

package that is full face bonded to refractory metal

plugs on both the anode and cathode. The result is

a low loss PIN diode with low thermal resistance

due to its symmetrical thermal paths. MELF PIN

diodes are designed specifically for high volume

tape and reel assembly. Their user friendly design

provides for extremely easy, automatic, pick and

place, indexing and assembly. All solderable

surfaces are tin plated and are compatible with all

industry standard reflow and vapor phase soldering

processes.
