SFH617A-4X001 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended soldering temperature for SFH617A-4X001?
  The recommended soldering temperature is 260°C (500°F) for 10 seconds, with a peak temperature not exceeding 280°C (536°F) for 5 seconds.
• Can I use the SFH617A-4X001 in high-temperature applications?
  While the device can operate up to 100°C (212°F), it's not recommended for continuous operation above 85°C (185°F) due to reduced reliability and potential degradation.
• How do I handle the SFH617A-4X001 to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD)?
  Handle the device in an ESD-protected environment, wear an ESD strap, and use ESD-safe tools and materials to prevent damage from static electricity.
• What is the recommended storage condition for SFH617A-4X001?
  Store the devices in their original packaging, in a dry, cool place (20°C to 30°C or 68°F to 86°F) with relative humidity below 60%.
• Can I use the SFH617A-4X001 in applications with high humidity?
  While the device is not hermetically sealed, it can operate in humid environments. However, it's recommended to apply a conformal coating or potting compound to protect the device from moisture.
