6 – 12 GHz 30 W GaN Power Amplifier Data Sheet Rev. C, March 19, 2019 - 9 of 11 - www.qorvo.com Assembly Notes 1. Carefully clean the PC board and package leads with alcohol. Allow it to dry fully. 2. To improve the thermal and RF performance, Qorvo recommends attaching a heat sink to the bottom of the PCB and apply thermal compound (Arctic Silver 5 recommended) or 4 mil indium shim between the heat sink and the package. 3. (The following is for information only. There are many variables in a second level assembly that Qorvo does not control, so Qorvo does not recommend an absolute torque value.) Use screws to attach the component to the heat sink. A suggested torque value is 16 in-oz. for a 0-80 screw. Start with screws finger tight, then torque to 8 in-oz., then torque to final value. Use the following tightening pattern: 4. Apply no-flux solder to each pin of the TGA2590-CP. The component leads should be manually soldered, and the package cannot be subjected to conventional reflow processes. The use of no-clean solder to avoid washing after soldering is recommended.
