Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking to maintain junction temperature within specified limits.
   • Use recommended mounting torque for screws to avoid damage.

2. Biasing:

   • Apply base current (I_B) to control collector current (I_C).
   • Ensure base-emitter voltage (V_BE) is within safe operating limits.

3. Operating Conditions:

   • Do not exceed maximum ratings for collector-emitter voltage (V_CEO), emitter-base voltage (V_EBO), collector current (I_C), and power dissipation (P_T).
   • Operate within the specified junction temperature range to ensure reliability.

4. Storage:

   • Store in a dry, cool place within the storage temperature range (-55°C to 150°C).

5. Handling:

   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical stress.
   • Use appropriate ESD protection to prevent damage from static electricity.

6. Testing:

   • Use recommended test circuits and procedures to ensure accurate measurements.
   • Refer to the datasheet for detailed test conditions and methods.

7. Soldering:

   • Follow standard soldering practices to avoid thermal shock.
   • Ensure proper cooling after soldering to prevent damage to the device.
