Description
Alpha’s product line of silicon chip and packaged PIN
diodes are designed to cover a wide variety of
microwave and RF applications. The PIN designs have
been designated and characterized for fast speed
switches, low distortion attenuators and high RF
voltage applications. Alpha’s PIN semiconductor
materials and processing technology allows for a
superior combination of Rs, capacitance and voltage
ratings.
The PIN diode chip offering is specified for electrical
and physical parameters allowing designers of hybrid
circuits to be assured of consistent microwave and
geometric properties. All high voltage designs
incorporate glass passivation resulting in a reliable
low leakage current device.
The packaged PIN diodes were selected as the most
commonly employed PIN diode chip designs in
standard packages. These designs are adaptable to
many RF and microwave requirements that utilize
packaged PIN diode components and are available
for quick delivery. All ceramic packaged PIN diodes
are hermetically sealed.
This product line of PIN diodes are designed to be
capable of meeting electrical and environmental
screening requirements of military and space
applications.

Ordering Information
The above table shows the part number with the
standard package –210. Other package styles are
also available. To order part in a different package just
replace the “–210” in above part numbers with a
package style listed below. For example,
APD9920–210 becomes APD9920–202.
Available Package Outlines:
202, 203, 204, 210,
219, 230, 240,
Refer to the Outline Drawings section in this catalog
for the total selection of outline (package)
dimensions. The APD5035, APD5070 and APD9960
are only available in 210 and 202 outline drawing
numbers. Refer to the Outline Drawing section for
dimensions.
