Store the component in a dry, dark place at room temperature (20°C to 30°C) and humidity below 60%. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
Handle the component in an ESD-protected environment, wear an ESD wrist strap or use an ESD mat, and avoid touching the component's pins or leads. Use ESD-safe packaging and storage materials.
Follow the recommended soldering profile: peak temperature 260°C, time above 217°C 10-15 seconds, and total process time 60-90 seconds. Ensure the component is soldered within the recommended temperature range to prevent damage.
The component is rated for operation up to 125°C. However, for high-temperature applications above 100°C, consult with Vishay Intertechnologies or a qualified engineer to ensure the component's reliability and performance.
Follow the recommended moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating of 3, and ensure the component is properly sealed or encapsulated to prevent moisture ingress.
