Bourns provides a recommended PCB layout and land pattern in their application notes. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure proper thermal management, minimize electromagnetic interference, and optimize signal integrity.
While the datasheet specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, Bourns recommends derating the device's power rating at higher temperatures. Consult Bourns' application notes for specific derating guidelines and thermal management recommendations.
Bourns recommends following the IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standard for soldering profiles. A peak temperature of 260°C (500°F) and a dwell time of 20-40 seconds are recommended. Avoid exceeding these parameters to prevent damage to the device.
Yes, Bourns recommends handling the device by the body, avoiding touching the leads or electrical contacts. Store the devices in their original packaging, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
Bourns provides reliability data in their datasheet, including a mean time to failure (MTTF) of 1,000,000 hours at 125°C. However, actual lifespan may vary depending on application-specific factors, such as operating conditions, power cycling, and environmental factors.
