The recommended storage condition for US1K-E3/5AT is in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, with a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.
While the US1K-E3/5AT is suitable for high-frequency applications, its performance may degrade above 100 kHz due to internal inductance and capacitance. It's recommended to consult with a Vishay application engineer for specific guidance.
To prevent damage, use a soldering iron with a temperature below 260°C, and avoid applying excessive force or bending during the soldering process. Also, ensure the component is properly secured to the PCB to prevent movement during soldering.
The maximum allowable voltage derating for the US1K-E3/5AT is 80% of the rated voltage, but this may vary depending on the specific application and environmental conditions. Consult the datasheet and Vishay's application notes for more information.
While the US1K-E3/5AT is rated for operation up to 125°C, its performance and lifespan may be affected by prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Consult Vishay's application notes and thermal derating guidelines for specific guidance.
