The recommended land pattern for the WSMS2908L5000JK can be found in the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note 'Land Pattern Recommendations for Vishay SMD Resistors' (document number 28771).
To prevent damage, handle the WSMS2908L5000JK by the edges, avoid touching the component body, and use anti-static wrist straps or mats to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
The maximum allowable voltage imbalance across the WSMS2908L5000JK is not explicitly stated in the datasheet. However, as a general rule, it is recommended to keep the voltage imbalance below 10% to ensure reliable operation and prevent overheating.
The WSMS2908L5000JK is a general-purpose resistor and not specifically designed for high-frequency applications. For frequencies above 100 kHz, it is recommended to use a high-frequency resistor from Vishay's HF series or consult with a Vishay application engineer for guidance.
The power rating of the WSMS2908L5000JK at elevated temperatures can be determined using the derating curve provided in the datasheet. The curve shows the maximum allowable power dissipation as a function of ambient temperature.
