DESCRIPTION

This Microsemi Powermite PIN diode is perfect for two-way radio antenna switch applications where size and power handling capability are critical with its high isolation, low loss and low distortion characteristics. Its advantages also include the low forward-bias resistance and high zero-bias impedance that are essential for low loss, high isolation and wide bandwidth antenna switch performance. It is an ideal selection for applications requiring low profile and high-density mounting and is also available as RoHS Compliant with an e3 suffix. The Powermite package provides a full-metallic bottom that eliminates the possibility of solder flux entrapment during assembly, and its unique locking tab acts as an efficient heat path to the mounting surface. Its innovative design makes this device ideal for use with automatic insertion equipment.
