The recommended PCB footprint for GSIB2520-E3/45 is a rectangular pad with dimensions of 2.5 mm x 1.25 mm, with a 0.5 mm radius corner and a 0.3 mm spacing between pads.
While the GSIB2520-E3/45 is rated for operation up to 150°C, it's recommended to derate the power handling by 1.5% per degree above 125°C to ensure reliable operation. Consult the datasheet and application notes for more information.
To ensure reliable soldering, use a soldering iron with a temperature range of 250°C to 260°C, and apply a soldering flux compatible with the component's terminations. Avoid excessive soldering time and temperature to prevent damage to the component.
Store GSIB2520-E3/45 in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Handle the components by the body, avoiding touching the leads or terminations to prevent damage or contamination.
While the GSIB2520-E3/45 is designed to withstand normal vibration, it's recommended to consult the datasheet and application notes for specific vibration testing and derating guidelines to ensure reliable operation in high-vibration environments.
