Vishay recommends a soldering temperature profile with a peak temperature of 260°C (500°F) for a maximum of 10 seconds. It's essential to follow the recommended profile to prevent damage to the component.
While the SFH628A-3X001 is rated for operation up to 85°C (185°F), it's not recommended for high-temperature applications above 100°C (212°F). Exceeding the recommended temperature range may affect the component's reliability and lifespan.
Handle the SFH628A-3X001 with care to prevent mechanical stress, bending, or twisting. Store the components in their original packaging or in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid exposing the components to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Vishay provides a recommended PCB layout and land pattern in their application notes. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure proper soldering, thermal management, and component reliability.
The SFH628A-3X001 is not designed for use in high-humidity or moisture-rich environments. Exposing the component to moisture can lead to degradation or failure. If you need a component for such environments, consider using a moisture-resistant or waterproof alternative.
