“Butterfly” packages are widely used in telecom applications. A butterfly package design has been the historical choice for DWDM applications. The internal space makes it able to fit TEC with dimensions up to 7.0x15.0mm2 and cooling power up to 12W. RMT advises TE solutions on ML TEC Series, specially optimized to fit into “Butterfly” packages.

‣The package is specialized for Telecom applications.
‣The base material can be various: Kovar, CRS, CuW, CuMo.
‣The number of pins is usually 7 (one-side) or 14 (double-side).
‣The pinouts can be glass-sealed or ceramics.
‣Solutions with powerful single-stage TE modules are possible.
‣The sub-mount base thermal resistance is relatively small.
‣Strong reliability according to Telcordia GR-468 is required.
