Instructions for Use:

1. Handling:

   • Handle the resistor with care to avoid damaging the leads or body.
   • Avoid applying excessive force to the leads during soldering.

2. Soldering:

   • Preheat the PCB to reduce thermal shock.
   • Use a soldering iron with a temperature setting of 350°C to 400°C.
   • Apply solder to the joint for no more than 3 seconds to prevent overheating.

3. Mounting:

   • Ensure the resistor is mounted flat against the PCB to maintain proper heat dissipation.
   • Bend the leads to secure the resistor in place before soldering.

4. Storage:

   • Store in a dry, cool environment to prevent moisture damage.
   • Keep away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

5. Testing:

   • Use a multimeter to verify the resistance value after installation.
   • Ensure the resistance is within the specified tolerance range.

6. Disposal:

   • Dispose of the component according to local regulations for electronic waste.
   • Do not incinerate the resistor as it may release harmful fumes.
