Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting and Handling:

   • Ensure that the device is handled with care to avoid mechanical damage.
   • Use appropriate heat sinks to manage the thermal load, especially when operating at high power levels.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the collector, emitter, and base terminals correctly to avoid short circuits or incorrect polarity.
   • Use insulated tools and equipment to prevent electrical shock.

3. Thermal Management:

   • The device can dissipate up to 250W of power, but this requires effective cooling. Use a suitable heat sink and ensure adequate airflow.
   • Monitor the junction temperature (T_J) to stay below 150°C to prevent thermal damage.

4. Operational Limits:

   • Do not exceed the maximum ratings listed in the table to avoid damaging the device.
   • Operate within the specified temperature range to ensure reliable performance.

5. Storage:

   • Store the device in a dry, cool place within the storage temperature range (-65°C to 150°C).

6. Testing:

   • When testing the device, use the specified conditions for accurate results, such as the transition frequency and saturation voltage measurements.

7. Safety Precautions:

   • Always follow safety guidelines when working with high-voltage and high-power devices.
   • Use protective equipment such as gloves and goggles when handling the device.
