HPND-4028, HPND-4038
Beam Lead PIN Diodes for Phased Arrays and Switches
Data Sheet
Description
The HPND-4028 and 4038 beam lead PIN diodes are
designed for low capacitance, low resistance, and fast
switching at microwave frequencies. These character-
istics are achieved at low bias levels for minimal power
consumption. Advanced processing techniques ensure
uniform and consistent electrical performance, allowing
guaranteed capacitance windows. This translates to
improved performance in phased array applications.
Rugged construction and strong beams ensure high
assembly yields while nitride passivation and polyimide
coating ensure reliability.
