2.1.2 DC / INTERNAL PHOTODIODE PINS
Although the DC port has been tested using the J-ATD 002D standard - test G, care must be taken
when soldering the DC pins.
• For soldering gold-plated DC pins the use of a heat gun is not recommended as the excess heat
may cause some internal damage. If soldering is necessary, we recommend the use of a 0.5 to
0.8 mm diameter copper wire previously stripped and wrapped around the pin. Then solder the
wire to the pin with a 330°C to 350°C soldering iron equipped with a small clean soldering tip
and a 0.23 mm diameter tin wire.
• Alternatively, we can recommend a pin receptacle that is sized perfectly for a nice snug fit onto
those pins: PIN RECEPTACLE 0326 SERIES (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.). Accepted Diam. 0,56
mm – 0,81 mm.
