Mechanical Footprint
The LPT-10 transceiver mechanical dimensions are shown in table 3.1, and the footprint
and connector are shown in figure 3.1. The LPT-10 transceiver is generally mounted to
the application board as a through-hole, soldered component. Decisions about
component placement on the application electronics board must also consider
electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) issues as discussed
in Chapter 6 of this document.
Figure 3.1 shows the maximum height of the LPT-10 transceiver as it is shipped from
the factory. The user has the option of constructing a fixture to bend the connector pins
to reduce the overall height of the printed circuit board assembly on which the
transceiver is mounted.
The LPT-10 transceiver is marked with a black vertical bar oriented toward Pin 1, as
shown in figure 3.1. The sixteen connector pins are fabricated of solder tinned steel
alloy.
