M2032: Reflow Soldering Conditions for VCO and Synthesizer Products

From M/A-COM
 

 
M/A Com is committed to full compliance with the RoHS (Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directives. M/A Com began the transition to lead free back in 2001. As a result all of M/A Com's Synthesizer and VCO (MVS) products are constructed on RoHS compliant PCBs and utilize lead free solder. Currently, the only non-RoHS compliant material is some of the passive and IC components used within the module. They fall into two categories: * Lead contained within the plating of various chip components; * Brominated fire retardants used in the plastic molding compound of some IC components. M/A Com is currently in the process of switching to 100% RoHS compliant components. Our plan is that every synthesizer or VCO manufactured after January 1, 2006 will be fully RoHS compliant. In the meantime, we will create on request new part numbers for any customer who requires a RoHS compliant part. All RoHS compliant MVS parts will be shipped in boxes with a "Pb-free" label.

Products & Services
RF limiters are circuits that prevent the amplitude of a waveform from exceeding a specified value. There are three basic types of RF limiters: conventional, feedback, and high power. Search by Specification | Learn more about RF Limiters
RF waveguide isolators and RF waveguide circulators permit a signal to pass in one direction while providing high isolation to reflected energy in the reverse direction. RF waveguide circulators are passive devices with three or more ports. Learn more about RF Waveguide Isolators and Circulators
RF frequency converters are integrated component assemblies required for converting microwave signals to lower (or intermediate) or higher frequency range for further processing.   Search by Specification | Learn more about RF Frequency Converters
RF receivers are electronic devices that enable a particular radio signal to be separated from all others being received and converted into a format for video, voice, or data. Search by Specification | Learn more about RF Receivers
