Instructions for Use:

1. Handling and Storage:

   • Store in a dry, cool place to avoid moisture damage.
   • Handle with care to prevent mechanical damage.

2. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking to manage power dissipation, especially when operating at high currents.
   • Use appropriate mounting hardware to secure the device and ensure good thermal contact.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the collector, base, and emitter terminals correctly to avoid damage.
   • Use short leads to minimize inductive effects and improve high-frequency performance.

4. Operating Conditions:

   • Do not exceed the maximum ratings specified in the table.
   • Monitor the junction temperature to ensure it remains within safe limits.
   • For continuous operation, ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the rated value.

5. Testing:

   • Use a suitable test setup to verify the device parameters.
   • Follow the conditions specified in the table for accurate measurements.

6. Safety:

   • Always use appropriate safety measures when handling high-voltage and high-current circuits.
   • Ensure proper grounding and isolation to prevent electrical hazards.
