42TM002-RC - Xicon

42TM002-RC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended soldering temperature for the 42TM002-RC?
  The recommended soldering temperature for the 42TM002-RC is between 260°C to 280°C (500°F to 536°F) for a maximum of 10 seconds.
• Is the 42TM002-RC resistor suitable for high-frequency applications?
  While the 42TM002-RC is a general-purpose resistor, it's not optimized for high-frequency applications. For high-frequency use, consider using a resistor with a lower inductance and a more stable temperature coefficient, such as a thin-film resistor.
• Can I use the 42TM002-RC in a high-vibration environment?
  The 42TM002-RC is a through-hole resistor, which can be susceptible to vibration-induced failures. If you need a resistor for a high-vibration environment, consider using a surface-mount resistor or a resistor with a more robust construction, such as a wirewound resistor.
• Is the 42TM002-RC resistor RoHS compliant?
  Yes, the 42TM002-RC resistor is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it does not contain hazardous substances like lead, mercury, or cadmium above the allowed limits.
• What is the typical power rating derating curve for the 42TM002-RC?
  The power rating derating curve for the 42TM002-RC is typically around 0.5% to 1% per degree Celsius above 70°C (158°F). This means that for every degree above 70°C, the resistor's power rating decreases by 0.5% to 1%.
