CRCW020146K4FNED - Vishay

CRCW020146K4FNED Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended soldering temperature and time for this resistor?
  The recommended soldering temperature is 260°C (500°F) with a maximum soldering time of 10 seconds. However, it's essential to follow the soldering guidelines provided by Vishay Intertechnologies or consult with their technical support for specific recommendations.
• Is the CRCW020146K4FNED resistor suitable for high-frequency applications?
  While the CRCW020146K4FNED is a general-purpose resistor, it may not be the best choice for high-frequency applications due to its construction and materials. For high-frequency applications, consider using specialized resistors designed for high-frequency use, such as those with a higher self-resonant frequency or those specifically designed for RF applications.
• Can I use the CRCW020146K4FNED in a high-temperature environment?
  The CRCW020146K4FNED has a maximum operating temperature of 155°C (311°F). While it can tolerate high temperatures, it's essential to derate the power rating accordingly to ensure reliable operation. Consult the datasheet or Vishay's technical support for specific guidance on high-temperature use.
• Is the CRCW020146K4FNED resistor compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
  Yes, the CRCW020146K4FNED is compatible with lead-free soldering processes. Vishay Intertechnologies has designed this resistor to meet the requirements of lead-free soldering, making it suitable for use in RoHS-compliant applications.
• What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the CRCW020146K4FNED?
  The CRCW020146K4FNED has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1, which means it can be exposed to a relative humidity of 85% at 85°C (185°F) for 85 hours without being damaged. However, it's still essential to follow proper storage and handling procedures to prevent moisture-related issues.
