Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking to maintain operating temperatures within the specified range.
   • Use insulating washers if the transistor is mounted on a metal chassis.

2. Biasing:

   • For 2SC3423-O (NPN), apply a positive voltage to the base relative to the emitter.
   • For 2SA1360-O (PNP), apply a negative voltage to the base relative to the emitter.

3. Current Limiting:

   • Use appropriate resistors to limit base current and prevent damage due to excessive current.

4. Protection:

   • Consider using reverse-biased diodes across the collector and emitter to protect against transient voltages.
   • Use capacitors to filter out high-frequency noise if necessary.

5. Storage:

   • Store in a dry, cool place to avoid moisture damage.
   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical stress or damage to the leads.

6. Testing:

   • Use a multimeter to check for continuity and resistance between the terminals before installation.
   • Test the transistor in a controlled environment to ensure it meets the required specifications.
