Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure that the mounting surface is clean and free from contaminants.
   • Use appropriate soldering techniques to avoid overheating the device.
   • Soldering temperature should not exceed 260°C for more than 10 seconds.

2. Handling:

   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage.
   • Use static-protective equipment to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the anode and cathode terminals correctly to avoid reverse polarity.
   • Ensure that the current through the diode does not exceed the maximum ratings.

4. Thermal Management:

   • For applications where the diode will operate near its maximum current, consider using a heat sink to maintain the operating temperature within the specified range.

5. Environmental Considerations:

   • Store the device in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
   • Avoid exposure to corrosive or abrasive materials.

6. Testing:

   • Use a multimeter to verify the forward and reverse characteristics of the diode before installation.
   • Test the circuit under normal operating conditions to ensure proper functionality.

7. Disposal:

   • Dispose of the device according to local environmental regulations.
