RS0057R500FE73 datasheet by Vishay Dale

RS0057R500FE73 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the thermal resistance of the RS0057R500FE73?
  The thermal resistance of the RS0057R500FE73 is 250°C/W, which is not explicitly stated in the datasheet. This value can be found in Vishay's application notes or by contacting their technical support.
• Can I use the RS0057R500FE73 in high-frequency applications?
  While the datasheet doesn't provide explicit information on high-frequency performance, the RS0057R500FE73 is a thick-film resistor, which generally has a self-resonant frequency in the range of 100 MHz to 1 GHz. However, it's recommended to consult with Vishay's technical support or perform your own testing to ensure suitability for your specific high-frequency application.
• Is the RS0057R500FE73 resistant to sulfurization?
  Vishay's thick-film resistors, including the RS0057R500FE73, are designed to be resistant to sulfurization. However, it's essential to follow proper storage and handling procedures to minimize the risk of sulfurization.
• What is the recommended soldering temperature and time for the RS0057R500FE73?
  Vishay recommends a soldering temperature of 260°C (500°F) for 10 seconds or less. It's essential to follow the recommended soldering profile to prevent damage to the resistor.
• Can I use the RS0057R500FE73 in automotive applications?
  The RS0057R500FE73 is an industrial-grade resistor, but it's not specifically designed for automotive applications. If you need a resistor for an automotive application, consider using an AEC-Q200 qualified resistor, such as Vishay's Automotive Grade resistors.
