Mechanical Footprint
The LPT-11 transceiver mechanical dimensions are shown in figure 3.1. The
LPT-11 transceiver is generally mounted to the application board as a through-hole,
soldered component. Decisions about component placement on the application
electronics board must also consider electromagnetic interference (EMI) and
electrostatic discharge (ESD) issues as discussed in Chapter 6 of this document.
Figure 3.1 shows the maximum height of the LPT-11 transceiver as it is shipped
from the factory. The user has the option of constructing a fixture to bend the
connector pins to reduce the overall height of the printed circuit board assembly on
which the transceiver is mounted.
The LPT-11 has a notch on the top edge above Pin 1, as shown in figure 3.1. The
fourteen connector pins are fabricated of solder tinned steel alloy.
