NOTES:
Aqueous washable at 1 GHz for ERA-4,5,6, 4SM,4XSM ,5SM,5XSM, 50SM, 51SM, 6SM, 8SM. fu is the upper frequency limit for each model as shown in the table; for ERA-8SM VSWR (In & Out) is specified at DC-1GHz & 1-4 GHz. *** Gain and VSWR are specified at 1.5 GHz. J Low frequency cutoff determined by external coupling capacitors. A. Environmentalspecifications and re-flow soldering information available in General Information Section. B. Units are non-hermetic unless otherwise noted. For details on case dimensions & finishes see “Case Styles & Outline Drawings”. C. Prices and Specifications subject to change without notice. D. For Quality Control Procedures see Table of Contents, Section 0, "Mini-Circuits Guarantees Quality" article. ForEnvironmental Specifications see Amplifier Selection Guide. 1. Model number designated by alphanumeric code marking. 2. ERA-SM models available on tape and reel. 3. Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded. These ratings are not intended for continuous normal operation. 4. Supply voltage must be connected to pin 3 through a bias resistor in order to prevent damage. See"Biasing MMIC Amplifiers" in minicircuits.com/ application.html. Reliability predictions are applicable at specified current & normal operating conditions. u * **
