SOMC1603100KFEA datasheet by Vishay Dale

SOMC1603100KFEA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for SOMC1603100KFEA?
  The recommended land pattern for SOMC1603100KFEA can be found in Vishay's application note AN483, which provides guidelines for surface-mount assembly of Vishay's metal film resistors.
• How do I handle the SOMC1603100KFEA during assembly to prevent damage?
  To prevent damage, handle the SOMC1603100KFEA by the body, avoiding touching the terminations. Use anti-static wrist straps, mats, or other ESD protection methods to prevent electrostatic discharge damage.
• What is the maximum power rating for the SOMC1603100KFEA?
  The maximum power rating for the SOMC1603100KFEA is 1 W. However, it's essential to consider the operating temperature and derate the power accordingly to ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use the SOMC1603100KFEA in high-frequency applications?
  While the SOMC1603100KFEA is a metal film resistor, it's not designed for high-frequency applications. For frequencies above 100 kHz, consider using a resistor specifically designed for high-frequency use, such as a thin-film or wirewound resistor.
• How do I store the SOMC1603100KFEA to maintain its shelf life?
  Store the SOMC1603100KFEA in its original packaging or in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid exposing the components to extreme temperatures, humidity, or physical stress.
