Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure the IGBT is mounted on a heatsink to maintain proper operating temperatures.
   • Use thermal paste between the IGBT and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation.

2. Biasing:

   • Apply a positive gate-emitter voltage (V GE) to turn on the IGBT.
   • Apply a negative gate-emitter voltage to ensure the IGBT is fully turned off.

3. Current Limiting:

   • Do not exceed the continuous collector current (I C) or pulse collector current (I CM) ratings.
   • Use appropriate current limiting resistors if necessary.

4. Thermal Management:

   • Monitor the junction temperature (T J) to avoid exceeding the maximum rating.
   • Ensure adequate cooling, especially during high-power operations.

5. Handling:

   • Handle the IGBT with care to avoid mechanical damage.
   • Use anti-static precautions to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

6. Storage:

   • Store the IGBT in a dry, cool place within the specified storage temperature range (T STG).

7. Testing:

   • Perform initial testing at low power levels to verify correct operation.
   • Gradually increase power levels while monitoring temperature and performance.

8. Safety:

   • Always follow safety guidelines when working with high-voltage and high-current circuits.
   • Use appropriate protective equipment and follow all local regulations and standards.
