MOUNTING AND SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS
Mounting
The heatsink surface must be flat, free of burrs and oxidation
and be parallel to the mounting surface.
The heatsink, mounting base and ground leads should be
properly RF-grounded.
Heatsink compound should be applied sparingly and evenly
on the mounting base. Suitable heatsink compounds are
Dow Corning 340, Eccotherm TC-5 (E&C) and Wakefield
120.
When mounting CATV hybrid modules, the UNC screws
must first be turned finger-tight. The screws should then be
tightened to within the tolerance 0.5 Nm minimum and 0.7
Nm maximum.
Soldering
Modules may be soldered directly into a circuit using a
soldering iron with a maximum temperature of 260 °C for not
more than 3 seconds when the soldered joints are a
minimum of 3 mm from the module.
