Bourns recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a solid ground plane to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensure optimal performance. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended for the PCB.
To ensure reliable soldering, Bourns recommends using a soldering iron with a temperature range of 250°C to 260°C, and a solder with a melting point of 180°C to 200°C. The device should be soldered within 3 seconds to 5 seconds to prevent thermal damage.
Although the datasheet specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, Bourns recommends derating the device's performance at temperatures above 100°C to ensure long-term reliability.
Bourns recommends following standard ESD handling procedures, such as using an ESD wrist strap, ESD mat, and ESD-safe packaging materials. The device should be handled in a static-controlled environment to prevent damage.
Bourns recommends storing the device in a dry, cool place with a relative humidity of 50% or less. The device should be stored in its original packaging or an ESD-safe container to prevent damage.
