HANDLING PRECAUTION for PD/APD MODULE
The NEC PD/APD module has heat shrink tubing to protect the ferrule edge (*1) and the junction between the
ferrule and the module body (*2). In order to avoid breaking the fiber and/or optical coupling degradation, NEC
recommends the following handling precautions.
1.
Do not make the fiber bend radius less than 30 mm (*3).
2.
Do not bend the fiber within the 18 mm section from the module body (*4).
3.
Do not stress the ferrule with a lateral force exceeding 500 g (*5).

CAUTION
Within this device there exists GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) material which is a
harmful substance if ingested. Please do not under any circumstance break the
hermetic seal.
The export of this product from Japan is prohibited without governmental license. To export or re-export this product from
a country other than Japan may also be prohibited without a license from that country. Please call an NEC sales
representative.
No part of this document may be copied or reproduced in any form or by any means without the prior written
consent of NEC Corporation. NEC Corporation assumes no responsibility for any errors which may appear in this
document.
NEC Corporation does not assume any liability for infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual
property rights of third parties by or arising from use of a device described herein or any other liability arising
from use of such device. No license, either express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any patents,
copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NEC Corporation or others.
While NEC Corporation has been making continuous effort to enhance the reliability of its semiconductor devices,
the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage or injury to persons or
property arising from a defect in an NEC semiconductor device, customer must incorporate sufficient safety
measures in its design, such as redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
NEC devices are classified into the following three quality grades:
"Standard", "Special", and "Specific". The Specific quality grade applies only to devices developed based on
a customer designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications
of a device depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each
device before using it in a particular application.
Standard: Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment,
audio and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic
equipment and industrial robots
Special: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support)
Specific: Aircrafts, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems or medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC devices in "Standard" unless otherwise specified in NEC's Data Sheets or Data Books.
If customers intend to use NEC devices for applications other than those specified for Standard quality grade,
they should contact NEC Sales Representative in advance.
Anti-radioactive design is not implemented in this product.
