Package and handling instructions
Process plug
The PL-xCP-02-S53-11 is supplied with a process plug. This plug protects the
transmitter/receiver’s optics during standard manufacturing processes by prevent-
ing contamination from dust or other airborne particles.
Note: It is recommended that the process plug remain in the transmitter/receiver
whenever an optical ber connector is not inserted.
Recommended solder and wash process for host BGA connector
PL-xCP-02-S53-11’s mating BGA connector is compatible with standard industry
wave solder, hand solder and wash processes. Air knife drying is recommended.
The BGA connector pickup cap must be installed during these process steps.
Recommended cleaning and de-greasing chemicals
JDSU recommends the use of methyl, isopropyl and isobutyl alcohols for cleaning.
Do not use halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. trichloroethane, ketones such as ac-
etone, chloroform, ethyl acetate, MEK, methylene chloride, methylene dichloride,
phenol, N-methylpyrolldone).
Flammability
The PL-xCP-02-S53-11 housing is a metal casting.

ESD discharge (ESD)
Handling
Normal ESD precautions are required during the handling of this module. This
transmitter or receiver is shipped in ESD protective packaging. It should be re-
moved from the packaging and otherwise handled in an ESD protected environ-
ment utilizing standard grounded benches, oor mats, and wrist straps.
Test and operation
In most applications, the optical connector will protrude through the system chas-
sis and be subjected to the same ESD environment as the system. Once properly
installed in the system, this transmitter/receiver should meet and exceed common
ESD testing practices and fulll system ESD requirements.
