DESCRIPTION
AMCOM’s AM030WH2-BI-R is a part of the BI series of
GaAs HiFETs. The HiFET is a partially matched
patented device configuration for high voltage, high
power and broadband applications. This part has a total
device periphery of 6mm (Two 3mm FETs in series).
The AM030WH2-BI-R is designed for high power
microwave applications, operating up to 12 GHz. It is
also an ideal driver for larger power devices. The BI
series uses a specially designed ceramic package with
bent (BI-G) or straight (BI) leads in a drop-in mounting
style. The flange at the bottom of the package serves
simultaneously as DC ground, RF ground, and thermal
path. This part is RoHS compliant.
RoHS compliant.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The device may dissipate several watts of power. It is important to provide a good heat sink to dissipate the heat.
There are two options of mounting the device, as shown below. The most effective way is to mount the device to
a heat sink pedestal (Option 1). We strongly recommend this way for high power device. The other option, which
is mounted directly on PCB, is to add sufficient number of plated through via holes to the PCB. The base of the
device is soldered to the PCB (Option 2). The via hole wall should be plated by at least 1 oz thick (1.5 mil) of high
thermal conductivity copper to conduct the heat from the top of PCB to the bottom of PCB. Also fill the via holes
with solder to help conducting the heat.
Option 2 for Bent Leads
Option 1 for Straight Leads (Recommended)
