Bracket
8-1 Introduction
If required, the user can create their own mounting bracket to meet local needs. This chapter provides outline
dimensions for each Millimeter-Wave Module type.
8-2 Module Operating Environment
The modules require use of heatsink with adequate air circulation. The following notes should be considered
before operating the MA25400A, MA25300A, 3743x, 3744x-xx, and 3743x-Rx Millimeter-Wave Modules:
• Thermal heat sinking similar to the supplied mounting brackets of the Millimeter-Wave Module should
be considered in custom mounting applications.
• Each MA25400A Module consumes a maximum of 12 watts.
• Each MA25300A Module consumes a maximum of 12 watts.
• Each 3743x Module consumes a maximum of 12 watts.
• Each 3744x-EE and 3744x-EW Module consumes a maximum of 12 watts.
• Each 3744x-Rx Module consumes a maximum of 7 watts.
• The primary heat sinking path for the module is on the two external side surfaces used to mount to the
support brackets.
• With the attached cable mounting brackets, the case temperature rise is approximately 15 °C to 20 °C
above ambient.
Note The three year warranty is valid for all modules, with or without mounting brackets attached.
