Description and Applications
The MA4P7418-10720T is a surface mount PIN
diode in a Metal Electrode Leadless Faced
(MELF) package. The device incorporates
M/A-COM Technology Solutions time proven
HIPAX technology to produce a low inductance
ceramic package with no ribbons or whisker
wires. Incorporated in the package is a fully pas-
sivated PIN diode chip that is full face bonded on
both the cathode and anode to maximize the sur-
face contact area for low electrical and thermal
resistance. The MA4P7418-10720T has been
comprehensively characterized both electrically
and mechanically to ensure repeatable and
predictable performance. The diode is well suited
for use in low loss, low distortion, high power
switching circuits. The low thermal resistance of
this device provides excellent high average
performance at RF power incident levels up to
200 watts CW. This device is designed to meet
the most rigorous electrical and mechanical
requirements.
SMQ MELF PIN diodes are designed for high
volume tape and reel assembly. The rectangular
package design provides a highly efficient means for
automatic pick and place assembly techniques. The
parallel flat surfaces are suitable for key jaw or
vacuum pickup techniques. All solderable surfaces
are tin plated and compatible with reflow and vapor
phase soldering methods.
