NTCS0603E3153HMT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for NTCS0603E3153HMT?
  The recommended land pattern for NTCS0603E3153HMT is a rectangular pad with a size of 0.8mm x 1.2mm, with a solder mask clearance of 0.1mm. This can be found in the Vishay land pattern recommendation document.
• Can I use NTCS0603E3153HMT in a high-temperature application?
  While the NTCS0603E3153HMT is rated for operation up to 150°C, it's not recommended for continuous operation above 125°C. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can affect the component's reliability and lifespan.
• How do I handle the NTCS0603E3153HMT during assembly to prevent damage?
  Handle the NTCS0603E3153HMT by the edges or the body, avoiding touching the terminations. Use anti-static wrist straps, mats, or packaging to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
• What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of NTCS0603E3153HMT?
  The MSL of NTCS0603E3153HMT is 1, which means it can be exposed to a maximum of 30°C/85% RH for 168 hours before soldering. Proper storage and handling procedures should be followed to prevent moisture absorption.
• Can I use NTCS0603E3153HMT in a humid or corrosive environment?
  While the NTCS0603E3153HMT has a protective coating, it's not designed for continuous exposure to high humidity or corrosive environments. Additional protection measures, such as conformal coating or potting, may be necessary for such applications.
