Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking to manage the high power dissipation.
   • Use insulated mounting hardware to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Biasing:

   • Apply appropriate base current to ensure the transistor operates within its safe operating area (SOA).
   • Avoid exceeding the maximum base-emitter voltage (Vebo).

3. Operating Conditions:

   • Do not exceed the maximum collector-emitter voltage (Vceo) or collector-base voltage (Vcbo).
   • Keep the junction temperature (Tj) within the specified range to avoid thermal runaway.

4. Storage:

   • Store in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage.
   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical stress on the leads.

5. Testing:

   • Use a suitable tester to verify the parameters before installation.
   • Perform regular checks to ensure the transistor is functioning correctly.

6. Safety:

   • Always use protective equipment when handling high-voltage components.
   • Follow all local safety regulations and guidelines.
