1 – 3000 MHz LOW NOISE WIDE BAND AMPLIFIER

Application Notes:
A. SMA Torque Wrench Selection
Always use a torque wrench with 5 ~ 6 inch-lb coupling torque setting for mating the SMA cables to the amplifier. Never use
torque more than 8 inch-lb wrench for tightening the mating cable to the connector. Otherwise, the permanent damage will
occur to the SMA connectors of the amplifier. 8710-1582 (5 inch-lb) is one of the ideal torque wrench choice from Agilent
Technology.
B. DC Power Line Connection
Strip the insulation layer at the end of DC power supply wire. The stripped distance should be in the range of 0.100” to 0.200”.
The 24 ~ 26 American Wire Gauge wire is suitable. Wound the stripped terminal wire about 1 turn on the DC feed thru center
pin. Solder the wounded wire and the center pin together. Clean the soldering area by Q-tip with alcohol to remove the flux and
residue. Never use too large soldering iron tip and too high temperature soldering this DC power line. Too hot tip will damage
the feed thru and causes permanent damage to the amplifier.
Repeat the process to solder the DC return wire on the ground turret.
C. Mounting the Amplifier
Use three pieces of #4-40 with longer than 9/16” screws for mounting the amplifier on a metal-based chase. Flat and spring
washers are needed to prevent the screw loosening during the shock and vibration. Always use the appropriate torque setting
of the power screwdriver to mount them.
