AZ15GKE - Ohmite

AZ15GKE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the thermal resistance of the AZ15GKE?
  The thermal resistance of the AZ15GKE is not explicitly stated in the datasheet, but according to Ohmite's application notes, the thermal resistance (RθJA) is approximately 10°C/W for the AZ15GKE.
• Can I use the AZ15GKE in a high-frequency application?
  While the AZ15GKE is primarily designed for low-frequency applications, it can be used in high-frequency applications up to 100 kHz. However, the inductance and impedance of the resistor may affect its performance at higher frequencies.
• Is the AZ15GKE suitable for high-vibration environments?
  The AZ15GKE is designed to withstand moderate vibration levels, but it's not specifically designed for high-vibration environments. If your application involves extreme vibration, you may need to consider additional mounting or vibration-dampening measures.
• Can I use the AZ15GKE in a humid or wet environment?
  The AZ15GKE has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1, which means it can withstand normal humidity levels. However, it's not designed for immersion in water or exposure to high humidity levels. If your application involves high humidity or water exposure, you may need to consider additional protection or sealing measures.
• What is the recommended soldering temperature and time for the AZ15GKE?
  The recommended soldering temperature for the AZ15GKE is 260°C (500°F) for 3-5 seconds. It's essential to follow the recommended soldering profile to avoid damaging the resistor.
