RF Layer is 0.008” thick Rogers Corp. RO4003C, εr = 3.38. Metal layers are 0.5 oz. copper. The microstrip line at the
connector interface is optimized for the Southwest Microwave end launch connector 1092-01A-5. Die attach is
accomplished with conductive epoxy. The PCB land pattern has been developed to accommodate bond wire and die
tolerances.

Assembly Notes
Component placement and adhesive attachment assembly notes:
• Vacuum pencils and/or vacuum collets are the preferred method of pick up.
• Air bridges must be avoided during placement.
• The force impact is critical during auto placement.
• Organic attachment (i.e. epoxy) can be used in low-power applications.
• Curing should be done in a convection oven; proper exhaust is a safety concern.
