B130-E3/5AT datasheet by Vishay Semiconductors

B130-E3/5AT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended storage temperature range for the B130-E3/5AT?
  The recommended storage temperature range for the B130-E3/5AT is -40°C to 125°C, as per Vishay's general guidelines for metal film resistors.
• Can the B130-E3/5AT be used in high-frequency applications?
  While the B130-E3/5AT is a general-purpose metal film resistor, it's not recommended for high-frequency applications (>100 kHz) due to its inductive nature. For high-frequency applications, consider using thin-film or thick-film resistors instead.
• How does the B130-E3/5AT perform in high-humidity environments?
  The B130-E3/5AT 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 (>90% RH) without proper protection or encapsulation.
• Can the B130-E3/5AT be used in high-temperature soldering applications?
  The B130-E3/5AT has a maximum soldering temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds. Exceeding this temperature or time may damage the resistor. It's recommended to follow the recommended soldering profile and use a soldering iron with a temperature control.
• What is the recommended power derating for the B130-E3/5AT?
  The recommended power derating for the B130-E3/5AT is 50% of the maximum power rating at 70°C. This means that if the maximum power rating is 1 W, the recommended power derating would be 0.5 W at 70°C.
