Bel Fuse recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a solid ground plane and a minimum of 50 mils of clearance around the device to ensure optimal performance and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Bel Fuse recommends using a soldering iron with a temperature of 250°C to 260°C and a solder with a melting point of 180°C to 190°C. The device should be soldered within 3 seconds to 5 seconds, and the solder joints should be inspected for proper wetting and filleting.
The SMP1.25 is rated for operation from -40°C to 125°C, but Bel Fuse recommends derating the device for operation above 100°C to ensure long-term reliability.
Bel Fuse recommends storing the SMP1.25 in its original packaging or in a similar ESD-protective package, and handling the device with ESD-protective wrist straps or mats to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
Bel Fuse recommends a torque specification of 0.5 N·m to 1.5 N·m for the SMP1.25's screw terminals to ensure proper connection and prevent damage to the device.
