The maximum operating temperature for the BW-S40W2+ is 65°C, but it's recommended to operate it at a maximum of 55°C for optimal performance and reliability.
While the BW-S40W2+ is designed to operate in a variety of environments, it's not recommended to use it in extremely humid conditions (above 80% RH). If you must operate it in a humid environment, ensure proper sealing and conformal coating to prevent moisture ingress.
Mini-Circuits recommends using a high-quality, low-loss PCB material such as Rogers 4350B or equivalent for optimal performance. Avoid using FR4 or other low-cost materials that may compromise the device's performance.
The BW-S40W2+ is designed to withstand moderate vibrations, but it's not recommended for use in extremely high-vibration environments (above 10G). If you must operate it in a high-vibration environment, ensure proper mounting and securing of the device to prevent mechanical stress.
Mini-Circuits recommends soldering the BW-S40W2+ at a temperature of 260°C (500°F) for 10-15 seconds. Avoid using excessive soldering temperatures or times, as this can damage the device.
