RLS150E - Ohmite

RLS150E Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the thermal resistance of the RLS150E?
  The thermal resistance of the RLS150E is typically around 1.5°C/W, but this can vary depending on the specific application and mounting method.
• Can the RLS150E be used in high-frequency applications?
  While the RLS150E is primarily designed for DC and low-frequency applications, it can be used in high-frequency applications up to 100 kHz with some derating. However, it's essential to consult with Ohmite's application engineers to ensure the resistor meets the specific requirements.
• Is the RLS150E suitable for high-vibration environments?
  The RLS150E is designed to withstand moderate vibration levels, but it's not recommended for extreme vibration environments. If your application involves high vibration, consider using a resistor with a more robust construction, such as Ohmite's VIT or MIL-PRF-39007 series.
• Can the RLS150E be used in high-humidity environments?
  The RLS150E has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1, which means it can withstand normal humidity levels. However, it's not recommended for use in extremely humid environments. If your application involves high humidity, consider using a resistor with a higher MSL rating or applying conformal coating.
• What is the recommended soldering temperature and time for the RLS150E?
  The recommended soldering temperature for the RLS150E is 260°C (500°F) for 10-15 seconds. It's essential to follow the recommended soldering profile to avoid damaging the resistor.
