Part Details for WSK25123L300FEA by Vishay Intertechnologies

The recommended land pattern for WSK25123L300FEA can be found in Vishay's application note 'Land Pattern Recommendations for Vishay Resistors' (document number 31011). It provides detailed guidelines for designing PCB pads to ensure reliable soldering and assembly.

While the datasheet specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C, Vishay recommends derating the power rating of WSK25123L300FEA at high temperatures. For example, at 125°C, the power rating is reduced to 50% of the maximum value. Consult Vishay's application note 'Resistor Operating Temperature' (document number 23011) for more information.

WSK25123L300FEA is a wirewound resistor, which may not be the best choice for high-frequency applications due to its inductive nature. For high-frequency applications, consider using Vishay's thin-film or thick-film resistors, which are designed to minimize inductance and provide better high-frequency performance.

WSK25123L300FEA is designed to withstand moderate vibration levels. However, for high-vibration environments, Vishay recommends using resistors with specialized vibration-resistant designs, such as their VPR series. Consult Vishay's application note 'Vibration Testing of Resistors' (document number 33011) for more information.

WSK25123L300FEA is a sensitive component and requires proper ESD protection during handling and assembly. Vishay recommends following standard ESD precautions, such as using ESD-safe workstations, wrist straps, and packaging materials. Consult Vishay's application note 'ESD Protection for Vishay Resistors' (document number 24011) for more information.
