Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking to manage thermal resistance and prevent overheating.
   • Use appropriate mounting hardware and thermal compound to enhance heat dissipation.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the anode to the positive side of the circuit and the cathode to the negative side.
   • Verify polarity before applying power to avoid damage.

3. Handling:

   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical stress on the leads and body.
   • Use ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection measures to prevent damage from static electricity.

4. Testing:

   • Test the diode using a multimeter or diode tester to ensure it is functioning correctly.
   • Check for continuity in the forward direction and open circuit in the reverse direction.

5. Storage:

   • Store in a dry, cool place within the specified storage temperature range.
   • Avoid exposure to corrosive environments.

6. Soldering:

   • Use a controlled soldering process to avoid excessive heat that could damage the diode.
   • Follow recommended soldering profiles and temperatures provided by the manufacturer.

7. Safety:

   • Always follow safety guidelines when working with high voltages and currents.
   • Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as necessary.
