b) If a load is applied to the entire surface by a hard component, bending stress may be generated and the

package may fracture, etc., depending on the flatness of the bottom of the package. Therefore, for

installation, use either an elastic load, such as a spring plate, or an adhesive.

c) The adhesive may cause the marking on the rear surface to disappear, especially in case the regulated

voltage value is indicated on the rear surface. Therefore, the adhesive should not be applied to this area,

and indicated values should be transferred to the other locations as a precaution.

d) The notch of the package is used for directional index, and that can not be used for reference of fixing.

In addition, the cover glass and seal resin may overlap with the notch of the package.

e) If the lead bend repeatedly and the metal, etc., clash or rub against the package, the dust may be

generated by the fragments of resin.

f) Acrylate anaerobic adhesives are generally used to attach CCD image sensors. In addition, cyano-

acrylate instantaneous adhesives are sometimes used jointly with acrylate anaerobic adhesives. (reference)

a) Do not expose to strong light (sun rays) for long periods. For continuous using under cruel condition

exceeding the normal using condition, consult our company.

b) Exposure to high temperature or humidity will affect the characteristics. Accordingly avoid storage or

usage in such conditions.

c) The brown stain may be seen on the bottom or side of the package. But this does not affect the CCD

characteristics.

d) This package has 2 kinds of internal structure. However, their package outline, optical size, and strength

are the same.

The cross section of lead frame can be seen on the side of the package for structure A.
