ESH2B-E3/5BT datasheet by Vishay Semiconductors

ESH2B-E3/5BT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended storage temperature for ESH2B-E3/5BT?
  The recommended storage temperature for ESH2B-E3/5BT is -40°C to 125°C, as per Vishay's general guidelines for metal film resistors.
• Can I use ESH2B-E3/5BT in high-frequency applications?
  While ESH2B-E3/5BT is suitable for general-purpose applications, it's not recommended for high-frequency applications (>100 kHz) due to its metal film construction, which may introduce parasitic inductance and capacitance.
• How do I handle ESH2B-E3/5BT for soldering and rework?
  Follow standard soldering and rework procedures for metal film resistors. Use a soldering iron with a temperature of 260°C (500°F) or less, and avoid applying excessive force or bending, which can damage the internal film.
• Is ESH2B-E3/5BT suitable for automotive applications?
  While ESH2B-E3/5BT meets general automotive requirements, it's essential to verify its compliance with specific automotive standards (e.g., AEC-Q200) and regulations for your particular application.
• Can I use ESH2B-E3/5BT in high-moisture or humid environments?
  ESH2B-E3/5BT has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1, which means it can withstand normal humidity levels. However, it's recommended to follow standard humidity protection measures (e.g., conformal coating) for applications in high-moisture or humid environments.
