MRS25000C5601FC100 - Vishay

MRS25000C5601FC100 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for the MRS25000C5601FC100?
  The recommended land pattern for the MRS25000C5601FC100 can be found in the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note 'Land Pattern Recommendations for Vishay Resistors' (document number: 31011).
• How do I handle the MRS25000C5601FC100 during assembly to prevent damage?
  To prevent damage, handle the MRS25000C5601FC100 by the body, avoid touching the leads or the resistor element, and use anti-static precautions such as wrist straps or mats. Refer to the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note 'Handling and Assembly of Thin Film Resistors' (document number: 31012) for more information.
• What is the maximum power rating of the MRS25000C5601FC100 at high temperatures?
  The maximum power rating of the MRS25000C5601FC100 decreases with increasing temperature. Refer to the derating curve in the datasheet to determine the maximum power rating at a specific temperature. As a general rule, the power rating decreases by 1% for every 1°C above 70°C.
• Can I use the MRS25000C5601FC100 in a high-humidity environment?
  The MRS25000C5601FC100 is not suitable for use in high-humidity environments. It is recommended to use a conformal coating or potting compound to protect the resistor from moisture. Refer to the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note 'Moisture Sensitivity of Thin Film Resistors' (document number: 31013) for more information.
• How do I solder the MRS25000C5601FC100?
  The MRS25000C5601FC100 can be soldered using a wave soldering process or a reflow soldering process. The recommended soldering temperature is 260°C (500°F) for a maximum of 10 seconds. Refer to the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note 'Soldering of Thin Film Resistors' (document number: 31014) for more information.
