RLR07C2001FMB14 - Vishay

RLR07C2001FMB14 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for RLR07C2001FMB14?
  The recommended land pattern for RLR07C2001FMB14 can be found in Vishay's application note AN483, which provides guidelines for surface mount assembly of thick film resistors.
• Can I use RLR07C2001FMB14 in a high-frequency application?
  While RLR07C2001FMB14 is a general-purpose resistor, it is not recommended for high-frequency applications above 100 MHz due to its thick film construction, which can introduce parasitic inductance and capacitance. For high-frequency applications, consider using thin film resistors or specialized high-frequency resistors.
• How do I handle the RLR07C2001FMB14 during assembly to prevent damage?
  To prevent damage during assembly, handle RLR07C2001FMB14 by the edges, avoid touching the resistive element, and use anti-static precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Also, ensure that the component is properly seated on the PCB and that the soldering process is done according to the recommended temperature profile.
• Can I use RLR07C2001FMB14 in a high-temperature environment?
  RLR07C2001FMB14 is rated for operation up to 155°C, but its power rating derates above 70°C. For high-temperature applications, consider using resistors with higher temperature ratings, such as Vishay's RLR07C2001FHM14, which is rated for operation up to 200°C.
• How do I determine the power rating of RLR07C2001FMB14 in a specific application?
  To determine the power rating of RLR07C2001FMB14 in a specific application, consider the maximum voltage and current that the resistor will see, and calculate the power dissipation using the formula P = V^2 / R. Ensure that the calculated power dissipation is within the resistor's rated power rating, taking into account any derating factors due to temperature or other environmental conditions.
