excellent wetting characteristics and compatibility with today's
surface mount solder systems. Tin/lead (Sn/Pb) terminations
are available upon request for any part number. Gold-plated
terminations are also available for use with conductive epoxy
attachment processes. The symmetrical terminations offer total
compliancy to provide the thermal and mechanical stress relief
required with today's technology. Lead frame attachments to the
