Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper mounting to avoid mechanical stress on the device.
   • Use appropriate soldering techniques to prevent damage from excessive heat.

2. Handling:

   • Handle with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage the device.
   • Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the device according to the circuit diagram provided in your design.
   • Ensure that the reverse standoff voltage (VRWM) is not exceeded during normal operation.

4. Thermal Management:

   • If operating near the maximum temperature range, consider additional cooling methods such as heatsinks or forced air cooling.

5. Pulse Handling:

   • The device is designed to handle peak pulse currents up to 17.4A for short durations (8.3/330μs). Ensure that the clamping voltage (VC) does not exceed 35.8V during these pulses.

6. Leakage Current:

   • Monitor the reverse leakage current (IR) to ensure it remains below 1μA at room temperature (25°C).

7. Capacitance:

   • The capacitance of the device is 30pF at 1MHz. This should be taken into account when designing circuits where capacitance can affect performance.

8. Testing:

   • Perform regular testing to ensure the device is functioning within specified parameters.
   • Use appropriate test equipment to avoid damaging the device during testing.
