Solvent

When using solvent for flux removal, do not use a high acid or high alkali solvent. Be careful not to

pour solvent in the optical connector ports. If solvent is inadvertently poured there, clean with cotton

tips.

(7)

Protective cap

When the fiber optic transmitting module TOTX173 is not in use, use the protective cap.

(8)

Supply Voltage

voltage does not exceed the maximum rating value of 7 V, even instantaneously.

(9)

Input voltage

internal IC may degrade causing some damage. If excessive voltage due to surges may be added to the

input, insert a protective circuit.

(10) Soldering condition

Solder at 260°C or less within ten seconds.

(11) Precaution on waste

When discarding devices and packing materials, follow procedures stipulated by local regulations in

order to protect the environment against contamination.

Compound semiconductors such as GaAs are used as LED materials for this module. When discarding

waste or at final processing, attention must be paid to workers and the environment.

(12) Precaution on use

Toshiba is continually working to improve the quality and the reliability of its products. Nevertheless,

semiconductor devices in general can malfunction or fail due to their inherent electrical sensitivity

and vulnerability to physical stress. It is the responsibility of the buyer, when utilizing Toshiba

products, to observe standards of safety, and to avoid situations in which a malfunction or failure of a

Toshiba product could cause loss of human life, bodily injury or damage to property.

In developing your designs, please ensure that Toshiba products are used within specified operating

ranges as set forth in the most recent product specifications. Also, please keep in mind the

precautions and conditions set forth in the Toshiba Semiconductor Reliability Handbook.
