CONTROL DEVICES – MONOLITHIC SPST PIN
RoHS Compliant
DESCRIPTION
The GC41873-012S is a single chip silicon monolithic series/shunt element.
The parasitic inductance is minimized in this design resulting in wide band,
low loss, high isolation performance.
The back metallization on the monolithic chip is designed to be used with
normal solder or epoxy die attach methods.
Only pad bonds are needed to mount the monolithic device.
This product meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive 2002/95/EC. The
standard terminal finish is gold unless otherwise specified. Consult the
factory if you have special requirements.
APPLICATIONS
This shunt/series monolithic switching element provides optimum insertion
loss and isolation characteristics from 2-18 GHz. It replaces the conventional
shunt mounted chip and series mounted beam lead pin diode normally used
in the manufacture of broadband microwave switches.
The large bonding pads facilitate ease of installation and high production
yield with little danger of device degradation at assembly due to bonding
trauma. Additionally, power handling ability is enhanced by the superior heat
conduction path inherent in the series part of the element.
