Instructions for Use:

1. Handling:

   • Handle the BUZ384 with care to avoid damage to the leads and body.
   • Use appropriate ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions to prevent damage from static electricity.

2. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper alignment of the component during soldering to avoid mechanical stress.
   • Use a soldering iron with a temperature not exceeding 300°C for a duration not exceeding 10 seconds per connection.

3. Operating Conditions:

   • Do not exceed the maximum ratings specified in the table.
   • Ensure the operating temperature is within the specified range to avoid thermal damage.

4. Storage:

   • Store the BUZ384 in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
   • Keep the components in their original packaging until ready for use to protect against moisture and physical damage.

5. Testing:

   • Use a high-impedance voltmeter to measure the breakdown voltage.
   • Ensure the leakage current is measured at the specified breakdown voltage to ensure accuracy.

6. Applications:

   • The BUZ384 is suitable for general-purpose protection circuits, transient voltage suppression, and clamping applications.
   • It can be used in circuits where fast response times and low capacitance are required.
