Handling and Assembly Information
CAUTION!
- Mimix Broadband MMIC Products contain gallium arsenide (GaAs) which can be hazardous to the human body and the
environment. For safety, observe the following procedures:
• Do not ingest.
• Do not alter the form of this product into a gas, powder, or liquid through burning, crushing, or chemical processing as these by-products are
dangerous to the human body if inhaled, ingested, or swallowed.
• Observe government laws and company regulations when discarding this product. This product must be discarded in accordance with methods

Life Support Policy
- Mimix Broadband's products are not authorized for use as critical components in life support devices or systems
without the express written approval of the President and General Counsel of Mimix Broadband. As used herein: (1) Life support devices or
systems are devices or systems which, (a) are intended for surgical implant into the body, or (b) support or sustain life, and whose failure to
perform when properly used in accordance with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be reasonably expected to result in a
significant injury to the user. (2) A critical component is any component of a life support device or system whose failure to perform can be
reasonably expected to cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its safety or effectiveness.
Mounting Onto Circuit Boards
- Special design considerations allow the –FA packages to operate at high frequencies. One element required
for operation at high frequency is the use of fine geometry leads. Fine geometry leads are not as robust, and it is possible to exceed the yield
or tensile strength even with small hand tools. Even though firmly attached, EXTRA care in handling is essential.
Precautions:
• Check all fixtures used for assembly, lead forming, and testing, to be sure that parts are not subjected to unnecessary physical stress.
• Check that test sockets are easy to load, and not likely to torque or twist the leads.
• Be sure that the package is attached to a flat surface.
• Do not over-torque mounting screws.
• Do not use conductive gaskets or shims under the package.
• Do not use test fixtures or sockets that may produce a sharp lifting force on the leads.
• If packages must be removed after solder attach, do not pry the leads up so that the force lifting the lead from the board is also lifting the lead from
the package. Use a probe to press down on the lead-to-package joint, and lift the lead when the solder is fluid.

1. Mounting surface should be tapped for close tolerance fit of inner to external thread
2. Mounting surface must be flat
3. Excessive bending or deformation of the package during mounting is likely to damage the ceramic. To avoid this:
• Insert all mounting screws for a given package and tighten all finger tight.
• Begin tightening screws on opposite corners of the package to 1/3 torque
• Tighten following same screw position pattern to 2/3 torque
• Tighten following same screw position pattern to full torque
4. The use of ground or thermal pads under the package is NOT recommended.
