DESCRIPTION
The BGY148A and BGY148B are three-stage UHF
amplifier modules in a SOT421A package. Each module
consists of three NPN silicon planar transistor dies
mounted together with matching and bias circuit
components on a metallized ceramic substrate. The
modules produce an output power of 3 W into a load of
50 Ωwith an RF drive power of 10 mW.

RF performance at Tmb =25°C.
LIMITING VALUES
In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134).
Note
1. In order to control the mounting-base temperature, proper heatsinking of the underside of the device is required.
It is therefore advisable that the device is mounted on a printed-circuit board with metallized through holes.

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.
Soldering can be carried out using a conveyor oven, a hot
airoven, an infraredovenor a combinationofthese ovens.
A double reflow process is permitted.
Hand soldering must be avoided because the soldering
irontipcan exceed the maximumpermittedtemperatureof
250 °C and damage the module.
The maximum allowed temperature is 250 °C for
5 seconds.
The maximum ramp-up is 10 °C per second.
The maximum cool-down is 5 °C per second.
Cleaning
The following fluids may be used for cleaning:
•Alcohol
•Bio-Act (Terpene Hydrocarbon)
•Acetone.
Ultrasonic cleaning should not be used since this can
cause serious damage to the product.
