Bourns provides a recommended PCB layout and land pattern in their application note AN164, which can be found on their website. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure proper thermal performance and reliability.
Bourns recommends using a soldering iron with a temperature of 250°C to 270°C, and a solder with a melting point of 180°C to 200°C. The component should be soldered within 3 seconds to 5 seconds, and the solder joints should be inspected for proper wetting and filleting.
According to Bourns, the maximum allowable voltage derating for PTH901-030S-103B1 is 10% to 15% below the maximum rated voltage. This is to ensure reliable operation and prevent premature failure.
While PTH901-030S-103B1 is rated for operation up to 150°C, Bourns recommends derating the component's power rating by 1.5% per degree Celsius above 125°C. This ensures reliable operation and prevents thermal runaway.
Bourns recommends following standard ESD handling procedures, such as using an ESD wrist strap, mat, or workstation, and ensuring that all equipment and tools are properly grounded. The component should be stored in its original packaging or an ESD-safe container when not in use.
