The recommended land pattern for NTCS0805E3103JLT is a rectangular pad with a size of 0.8mm x 1.2mm, with a non-solder mask defined (NSMD) pad shape. This is to ensure proper soldering and to prevent solder bridging.
While NTCS0805E3103JLT is rated for operation up to 150°C, it's not recommended to use it in high-temperature environments above 125°C for extended periods. This is because the component's reliability and accuracy may be compromised above this temperature.
To prevent damage, handle NTCS0805E3103JLT by the edges, avoid touching the component's surface, and use an anti-static wrist strap or mat. Also, ensure that the component is not subjected to excessive mechanical stress, such as bending or flexing.
The recommended soldering profile for NTCS0805E3103JLT is a peak temperature of 260°C, with a dwell time of 10-30 seconds. This ensures that the component is properly soldered without damaging the internal structure.
While NTCS0805E3103JLT is not hermetically sealed, it is designed to operate in a humid environment. However, it's recommended to follow proper humidity protection measures, such as conformal coating or potting, to ensure the component's reliability.
