DESCRIPTION
The BGY120A, BGY120B, and BGY120D are three-stage
UHF amplifier modules in a SOT388A package.
Each module consists of three NPN silicon planar
transistor dies, mounted together with matching and bias
components on a metallized ceramic substrate.
The modules produce an output power of 1.2 W into a load
of 50
Ω
with an RF drive power of 2 mW.

SOLDERING
The indicated temperatures are those at the solder
interfaces.
Advised solder types are types with a liquidus less than or
equal to 210
°C.
Solder dots or solder prints must be large enough to wet
the contact areas.
Footprints for soldering should cover the module contact
area +0.1 mm on all sides.
Soldering can be carried out using a conveyor oven, a hot
air oven, an infrared oven or a combination of these ovens.
Hand soldering must be avoided because the soldering
iron tip can exceed the maximum permitted temperature of
250
°C
and damage the module.
The maximum temperature profile and soldering time is
indicated as follows (see Fig.2):
t = 350 s at 100
°C
t = 300 s at 125
°C
t = 200 s at 150
°C
t = 100 s at 175
°C
t = 50 s at 200
°C
t = 5 s at 250
°C
(maximum temperature).
Cleaning
The following fluids may be used for cleaning:
•
Alcohol
•
Bio-Act (Terpene Hydrocarbon)
•
Triclean B/S
•
Acetone.
Ultrasonic cleaning should not be used since this can
cause serious damage to the product.
