Handling and Assembly Procedures

The following precautions should be observed to avoid damaging these devices.

Cleanliness

These devices should be handled in a clean environment.

Static Sensitivity

Aluminum Gallium Arsenide PIN diodes are Class 1 ESD sensitive and can be damaged by static

electricity. Proper ESD techniques should be used when handling these devices.

General Handling

These devices have a polymer layer which provides scratch protection for the junction area and the

anode air bridge. Beam lead devices must, however, be handled with extreme care since the leads

may easily be distorted or broken by the normal pressures exerted when handled with tweezers. A

vacuum pencil with a #27 tip is recommended for picking and placing.

Attachment

These devices were designed to be inserted onto hard or soft substrates. Recommended methods

of attachment include thermo-compression bonding, parallel-gap welding and electrically conductive

silver epoxy.
