1340-Type Lightwave Receiver
Electrostatic Discharge
Caution: This device is susceptible to damage as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD).Take proper
precautions during both
handling and testing. Follow EIA* Standard EIA-625.
Although protection circuitry is designed into the device, take proper precautions to avoid exposureto ESD.
Agere employs a human-body model (HBM) for ESD susceptibility testing and protection-design evaluation. ESD
voltage thresholds are dependent on the critical parameters used to define the model. A standard HBM (resistance
= 1.5 kΩ, capacitance = 100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be used for comparison purposes. The HBM
ESD threshold established for the 1340 receiver is ±1000 V.
Receiver Processing
The 1340-type receiver devices can withstand normal wave-soldering processes. The complete receiver module is
not hermetically sealed; therefore, it should not be immersed in or sprayed with any cleaning solution or solvents.
The process cap and fiber pigtail jacket deformation temperature is 85 °C. The receiver pins can be wave-soldered
at maximum temperature of 250 °C for 10 seconds.
Installation Considerations
Although the receiver features a robust design, care should be used during handling. The optical connector should
be kept free from dust, and the process cap should be kept in place as a dust cover when the device is not con-
nected to a cable. If contamination is present on the optical connector, the use of canned air with an extension tube
should remove any debris. Other cleaning procedures are identified in the technical note,Cleaning Fiber-Optic
Assemblies (TN95-010LWP).
