Instructions for Use:

1. Handling:

   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage.
   • Avoid touching the resistor body directly; use the leads for handling.

2. Soldering:

   • Preheat the PCB to 100-120°C before soldering.
   • Use a soldering iron with a temperature of 300-350°C.
   • Apply solder to the pad, not the resistor itself.
   • Ensure the solder joint is smooth and free of voids.
   • Allow the solder to cool naturally without moving the component.

3. Storage:

   • Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
   • Keep in original packaging until ready for use to prevent static damage.

4. Inspection:

   • Visually inspect the resistor for any physical damage or discoloration.
   • Use a multimeter to verify the resistance value before installation.

5. Mounting:

   • Place the resistor on the PCB with the correct orientation.
   • Ensure the leads are aligned with the pads.
   • Apply gentle pressure to ensure good contact during soldering.

6. Testing:

   • After assembly, test the circuit to ensure the resistor is functioning correctly.
   • Measure the resistance across the resistor to confirm it matches the specified value.

7. Disposal:

   • Dispose of any defective resistors according to local environmental regulations.
