Fully hermetic true-low-profile moulded ceramic surface mount packages offer excellent electrical performance from DC to 20GHz.

StratEdge has come out with a new series of fully hermetic true-low-profile moulded ceramic surface mount (SMT) packages claimed to offer excellent electrical performance from DC to 20GHz.

They are designed for use in the aerospace, avionics, and telecomms industries, and to package LEDs, MEMS and optical devices.

The moulded ceramic SMT packages meet the demand for surface mounted components that can be used at higher frequencies and they are MIL-STD-883 hermetic.

They are sealed with a metal lid and gold-tin solder preform and come in industry-standard 3 x 3, 4 x 4 and 5 x 5mm footprints.

The moulded ceramic SMT packages combine StratEdge's expertise with post fired ceramic and moulded ceramic - two technologies perfected for use in other StratEdge packages.

"StratEdge was ahead of the technology curve when it started designing high frequency, high performance packages 20 years ago", says StratEdge President Tim Going.

"Now, as the industry is finally catching up, our R and D has again moved us forward with our new moulded ceramic SMT packages".

"These low profile, hermetic packages meet the needs of today's emerging technologies".
