Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking to maintain the junction temperature within safe limits.
   • Use thermal compound between the transistor and the heatsink for better thermal conductivity.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the collector, base, and emitter terminals correctly to avoid damage.
   • Use short leads to minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance.

3. Operating Conditions:

   • Do not exceed the maximum ratings listed in the table.
   • Ensure the ambient temperature is within the storage temperature range to prevent thermal runaway.

4. Handling:

   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage.
   • Use ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection when handling the device to prevent damage from static electricity.

5. Testing:

   • Test the device under controlled conditions to ensure it meets the specified parameters.
   • Use appropriate test equipment and methods to avoid overstressing the device.

6. Storage:

   • Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
   • Keep in original packaging until ready for use to protect against moisture and physical damage.
