Instructions:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking to maintain the junction temperature within the specified range.
   • Use recommended mounting torque for screw terminals to avoid damage.

2. Handling:

   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical stress on the leads and body.
   • Avoid exposure to corrosive environments.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the diode in the correct polarity to prevent reverse breakdown.
   • Ensure that the forward current does not exceed the rated value to avoid overheating.

4. Surge Handling:

   • The diode can handle peak surge currents up to 300A for short durations (8.3 ms). Ensure that surge conditions do not exceed these limits.

5. Thermal Management:

   • Monitor the operating temperature to ensure it remains within the specified range (-40°C to 150°C).
   • Use appropriate cooling methods (e.g., heatsinks, fans) to manage thermal dissipation.

6. Storage:

   • Store the diode in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
   • Keep the storage temperature between -55°C and 150°C to ensure long-term reliability.

7. Testing:

   • Perform regular testing to ensure the diode is functioning correctly.
   • Use a multimeter to check for continuity and reverse bias resistance.
