The recommended storage temperature for VLMH3100-GS18 is -40°C to 100°C, as per Vishay's storage and handling guidelines.
While the VLMH3100-GS18 is designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures, it's not recommended for use in high-humidity environments (> 80% RH) without proper protection, as it may affect the device's reliability and lifespan.
The maximum allowable voltage derating for VLMH3100-GS18 is 10% of the rated voltage, as per Vishay's application notes. Exceeding this derating may affect the device's performance and reliability.
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, handle VLMH3100-GS18 devices with ESD-protective equipment, such as wrist straps, mats, and bags. Follow Vishay's ESD handling guidelines for proper protection.
While the VLMH3100-GS18 is a high-reliability device, it's not specifically designed for automotive applications. For automotive use, consider Vishay's AEC-Q101-qualified devices, which meet the industry's stringent requirements.
