VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for VLMPG33N1P2-GS18?
  The recommended land pattern for VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 can be found in the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note 'Land Pattern Recommendations for Vishay Vishay Thin Film Chip Resistors' (document number: 31071).
• How do I handle the static sensitivity of VLMPG33N1P2-GS18?
  To handle the static sensitivity of VLMPG33N1P2-GS18, follow proper ESD handling procedures, such as using an ESD wrist strap, mat, or workstation, and ensure that the resistor is stored in its original packaging or an anti-static bag when not in use.
• Can I use VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 in high-frequency applications?
  Yes, VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 is suitable for high-frequency applications due to its thin film construction, which minimizes parasitic inductance and capacitance. However, it's essential to consider the resistor's self-resonant frequency and ensure it does not exceed the operating frequency of your application.
• How does temperature affect the resistance of VLMPG33N1P2-GS18?
  The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) for VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 is ±25 ppm/°C, which means the resistance will change by ±0.025% for every 1°C change in temperature. This is a relatively low TCR, making the resistor suitable for applications where temperature stability is crucial.
• Is VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 compatible with lead-free soldering?
  Yes, VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 is compatible with lead-free soldering processes, with a recommended soldering temperature of 260°C to 270°C for a maximum of 10 seconds.
