Industry Standard Surface Mount Package (SC-79)
Lead-Free (RoHS Compliant)
Available with 260
°C Reflow Compatibility
Low Loss, High Isolation Switching Diodes
Tape and Reel Packaging
Description and Applications
M/A-COM offers a silicon PIN diode in low cost, surface
mount plastic package for use as a switch where low loss
and high isolation is required. These diodes are offered as
an RoHS compliant device with 100% matte Sn plating.
This particular PIN diode was designed to accommodate
circuits requiring the benefits of low resistance and requir-
ing low capacitance for various microwave control circuit
applications.
This PIN diode is available in the SC-79 (case style 1279)
package. This package is supplied on tape and reel for
automatic pick and place assembly. The tape and reel
suffix designation is a “T” at the end of the part number.
