varactor in a cost effective surface mount package.
This series of varactors is designed for high
capacitance ratio, and high Q for low battery voltage
operation. It is efficient for wide band tuning and low
phase noise application where the supply voltage is
limited to 5 volts or less.
The varactors are offered as singles in SC-79, and
SOD-323 along with a common cathode version
offered in the SC-70 (3L). These diodes are offered
with 100% matte Sn plating.

Mounting Information
The illustration indicates the recommended mounting pad configuration for the SC-79, SOT-323 and SOD-323
packages. Solder paste containing flux should be screened onto the pads to a thickness of 0.005- 0.007 inches.
The plastic package is placed in position, firmly adhering to the solder paste.
Permanent attachment is performed by a reflow soldering procedure during which the tab temperature does not
exceed +275°C and the body temperature does not exceed +250°C, for standard models and +260°C for the
RoHS compliant devices.
Please refer to Application Note M538 for surface mounting instructions.
