Instructions for Use:

1. Forward Voltage (V_F): Ensure that the forward voltage across the diode does not exceed 1.4V to prevent excessive power dissipation.
2. Reverse Blocking Voltage (V_R(M)): The diode is designed to block up to 650V in reverse bias. Do not exceed this voltage to avoid breakdown.
3. Continuous Forward Current (I_F): The diode can handle a continuous forward current of up to 8A. Exceeding this value may cause overheating and damage.
4. Peak Pulse Forward Current (I_FSM): The diode can handle peak pulse currents up to 100A, but only for short durations. Ensure the pulse width and frequency are within safe limits.
5. Total Power Dissipation (P_T): The maximum power dissipation is 65W. Proper heat sinking is required to manage heat and maintain the junction temperature within safe limits.
6. Junction Temperature (T_J): The operating junction temperature range is from -40°C to 150°C. Ensure adequate cooling to keep the temperature within this range.
7. Storage Temperature (T_STG): Store the diode in an environment where the temperature ranges from -40°C to 150°C to prevent damage.

Additional Notes:

• Always use appropriate heatsinks or cooling methods to ensure the diode operates within its specified temperature range.
• Ensure all connections are secure and free from corrosion to prevent electrical issues.
• Follow standard safety guidelines when handling and installing electronic components.
