The recommended land pattern for the 31GF6-E3/54 can be found in the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note AN483, which provides guidelines for surface mount assembly of chip resistors.
To prevent damage, handle the 31GF6-E3/54 by the body, avoid touching the terminations, and use anti-static wrist straps or mats to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
The maximum power rating for the 31GF6-E3/54 is 0.5 W, but it's essential to consider the operating temperature and derate the power accordingly to ensure reliable operation.
While the 31GF6-E3/54 is suitable for general-purpose applications, it's not recommended for high-frequency applications (>100 kHz) due to its internal construction and potential for self-resonance.
The correct resistor value tolerance depends on the specific application requirements. For the 31GF6-E3/54, the standard tolerance is ±1%, but ±0.5% or ±0.1% tolerance options are available upon request. Consult the datasheet or contact Vishay Intertechnologies for guidance.
