TGA4509-SM

QFN 4x4 Surface Mount

GaAs MMIC devices are susceptible to damage from Electrostatic Discharge. Proper precautions should

be observed during handling, assembly and test.

TGA4509-SM

Recommended Surface Mount Package Assembly

Proper ESD precautions must be followed while handling packages.

TriQuint recommends using a conductive solder paste for attachment. Follow solder paste and reflow oven

vendors’ recommendations when developing a solder reflow profile. Typical solder reflow profiles are listed

in the table below.

Hand soldering is not recommended. Solder paste can be applied using a stencil printer or dot placement.

The volume of solder paste depends on PCB and component layout and should be well controlled to

ensure consistent mechanical and electrical performance.

Solder attach process requires the use of no clean flux.
