Additional Details

The RS-0805-5M6-5%-0.125W resistor's characteristics are determined by its thick film construction. The resistor's temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) indicates how much the resistance value changes with temperature. Proper derating should be applied based on the ambient temperature to ensure the resistor operates within its power rating. The solder reflow profile used during assembly must also be considered to prevent damage to the resistor.
