Instructions:

1. Handling and Storage:

   • Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage.

2. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking for continuous operation at high currents.
   • Use a thermal compound between the diode and heat sink for better thermal conductivity.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Soldering temperature should not exceed 260°C for more than 10 seconds.
   • Allow the diode to cool down before making electrical connections.

4. Operational Limits:

   • Do not exceed the maximum reverse voltage or forward current ratings.
   • Ensure the operating temperature is within the specified range to avoid thermal damage.

5. Testing:

   • Test the diode using a multimeter or a dedicated diode tester to ensure it is functioning correctly.
   • Check for any signs of overheating or physical damage during operation.
