Gathering Experience with MOST150 Transceivers

While first bigger quantities of MOST150 transceivers have been delivered to customers for C-samples, Hamamatsu Photonics has gathered more and more experience in production, reliability and measurement issues and has been further improving the technical performance of these parts.

During the last year, the SMD package with ferrule guides has been adapted step by step after detailed simulations and tests in cooperation with the customers. The top part has been changed to a box shape, enabling an easy push in and pull out and a good holding force for the ferrules. It also gives more mechanical stability and makes the device easier to handle in automated production processes.

For the Through-Hole-Mount devices, Hamamatsu Photonics has developed and further improved a new, transparent resin, which enables reflow soldering at standard conditions and at the same time ensures a good optical performance and high reliability over lifetime. This achievement has been a goal for many years. The resin which is unique in the market will soon be used for other optical semiconductors as well.
