Instructions for Use:

1. Forward Voltage (V_F):

   • Ensure the forward voltage does not exceed 2.0V to prevent damage.
   • Typical operating voltage is around 1.5V at 20mA.

2. Reverse Breakdown Voltage (V_BR):

   • The device should not be operated with reverse voltages exceeding 7V to avoid breakdown.
   • A typical safe reverse voltage is 5V.

3. Forward Current (I_F):

   • Continuous forward current should not exceed 50mA to ensure reliable operation.
   • For optimal performance, keep the forward current around 20mA.

4. Peak Forward Current (I_F(s)):

   • Peak forward current can be up to 100mA for short durations (10ms).
   • Avoid prolonged exposure to peak currents to prevent overheating.

5. Reverse Current (I_R):

   • Reverse current should be kept below 10μA to avoid degradation of performance.
   • Higher reverse currents can indicate potential issues with the device.

6. Operating Temperature (T_op):

   • The device can operate within a temperature range of -40°C to 100°C.
   • Ensure the operating environment does not exceed these limits to maintain reliability.

7. Storage Temperature (T_stg):

   • Store the device in a temperature range of -40°C to 100°C to prevent damage.
   • Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations during storage.

8. Handling and Installation:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid mechanical stress.
   • Follow standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions to prevent damage.
   • Ensure proper soldering techniques to avoid thermal shock.

9. Testing:

   • Test the device under controlled conditions to verify its parameters.
   • Use appropriate test equipment to measure forward and reverse characteristics accurately.
