Application Notes:
-
Full SMT Solder Strength: Ensure accurate solder paste deposition across all 9 contact pads and outer shell SMT tabs to provide superior shear resistance and robust EMI/RFI grounding.
-
Reflow Soldering Profile: The high-temperature LCP housing is fully compatible with standard lead-free convection reflow profiles. Control peak temperature and dwell time to ensure clean solder joints without bridging.
-
Signal Integrity Management: Maintain controlled 90Ω differential impedance traces on the PCB for SuperSpeed (TX/RX) lines to ensure stable 5 Gbps transmission.
-
Thermal Stability: Rated for harsh environments from -55°C to +105°C, making it suitable for compact sealed housings and industrial computing modules.
