A. Environmental specifications and re-flow soldering information
available in General Information Section.
B. Units are non-hermetic unless otherwise noted. For details on
case dimensions & finishes see “Case Styles & Outline Drawings”.
C. Prices and Specifications subject to change without notice.
D. For Quality Control Procedures see Table of Contents, Section 0,
"Mini-Circuits Guarantees Quality" article. For Environmental
Specifications see Amplifier Selection Guide.
2. VSWR for VNA-25 increases below 1.5 GHz. Other VNA models VSWR
.75-2.5 GHz. For MNA models, VSWR .75-2.5 GHz, MNA-7, 2.5-5.9 GHz.
3. Thermal resistance is from junction to heat slug, or mounting paddle.
For units without heat slug/mounting paddle, thermal resistance is
from junction to mounting surface of leads.
