The EK68 includes the EVAL68 board. The use of EVAL68 allows for a large area of breadboarding space to work with while allowing for the surface mount installation of PA162DK. The PA162DK amplifier may be mounted directly to the EVAL68. The EK68 is designed for mounting of the PA162DK without the need to solder attach the device terminals. The HS33 heat sink is designed to hold the part in place while providing thermal control and electrical contact simultaneously. The obvious advantage is the ease of removal and replacement of the PA162DK as required. External connection to the evaluation board can be made via the terminals at the edge of the circuit board.
