The recommended land pattern for the WSMS2908L2500JK can be found in the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note 'Land Pattern Recommendations for Vishay Chip Resistors' (document number 31011).
To prevent damage, handle the WSMS2908L2500JK by the edges, avoid touching the component's surface, and use anti-static wrist straps or mats. Follow the ESD handling guidelines outlined in the JEDEC standard JESD625-A.
The maximum allowable voltage derating for the WSMS2908L2500JK is 75% of the rated voltage. For example, if the rated voltage is 2500V, the maximum allowable voltage derating would be 1875V.
The WSMS2908L2500JK is a general-purpose resistor, and its high-frequency performance is not specified. For high-frequency applications, consider using a resistor specifically designed for high-frequency use, such as the Vishay's HF series.
To determine the power rating of the WSMS2908L2500JK at elevated temperatures, use the derating curve provided in the datasheet. The power rating decreases as the temperature increases.
