Multilayer Organic (MLO®)
High Pass Filters
The MLO®High Pass Filters are low profile passive devices with best in class performance based
on AVX’s patented multilayer organic high density interconnect technology. The MLO®High pass
filters utilize high dielectric constant and low loss materials to realize high Q passive printed
elements, such as inductors and capacitors, in a multilayer stack. This results in a high
performance High Pass Filter design. MLO®High Pass Filters can support both a variety of
frequency bands and multiple wireless standards, and are less than 1.0mm in thickness. All filters
are expansion matched to most organic PCB materials, thereby resulting in improved reliability
over standard silicon and ceramic devices.

AUTOMATED SMT ASSEMBLY
SMT REFLOW PROFILE
The following section describes the guidelines for automated
SMT assembly of MLO®RF devices which are typically Land
Grid Array (LGA) packages or side termination SMT pacages.
Control of solder and solder paste volume is critical for
surface mount assembly of MLO®RF devices onto the PCB.
Stencil thickness and aperture openings should be adjusted
according to the optimal solder volume. The following are
general recommendations for SMT mounting of MLO®
devices onto the PCB.
Common IR or convection reflow SMT processes shall be
used for the assembly. Standard SMT reflow profiles, for
eutectic and Pb free solders, can be used to surface mount
the MLO®devices onto the PCB. In all cases, a temperature
gradient of 3°C/sec, or less, should be maintained to prevent
warpage of the package and to ensure that all joints reflow
properly. Additional soak time and slower preheating time
may be required to improve the out-gassing of solder paste.
In addition, the reflow profile depends on the PCB density
and the type of solder paste used. Standard no-clean solder
paste is generally recommended. If another type of flux is
used, complete removal of flux residual may be necessary.
Example of a typical lead free reflow profile is shown below.
