Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper handling to avoid static damage.
   • Mount the transistor with sufficient clearance from other components to allow for heat dissipation.

2. Biasing:

   • Apply the base current (IB) carefully to control the collector current (IC).
   • Ensure that the base-emitter voltage (V_BE) does not exceed the maximum rating.

3. Operating Conditions:

   • Do not exceed the maximum collector-emitter voltage (V_CEO).
   • Keep the power dissipation (P_TOT) within the specified limits to prevent overheating.
   • Operate the transistor within the specified temperature range (T_OP) to ensure reliable performance.

4. Storage:

   • Store the transistor in a dry, cool place within the storage temperature range (T_STG).

5. Testing:

   • Use appropriate test equipment to verify the transistor parameters before installation.
   • Test the transistor under controlled conditions to avoid damage.

6. Soldering:

   • Use a soldering iron with a temperature no higher than 300°C.
   • Complete soldering within 10 seconds to avoid thermal stress on the transistor.

7. Handling:

   • Handle the transistor by the body, not the leads, to minimize mechanical stress.
   • Use anti-static wrist straps and mats to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
