Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat.
   • Use a thermal compound between the device and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation.
   • Tighten the mounting screws to the recommended torque value specified by the manufacturer.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the anode and cathode terminals correctly to avoid damage.
   • Use appropriate wire gauges to handle the maximum current ratings.

3. Thermal Management:

   • Ensure adequate cooling to keep the junction temperature within the specified range.
   • Monitor the temperature during operation and adjust the cooling as necessary.

4. Surge Handling:

   • The device is designed to handle surge currents up to the specified ITSM value.
   • Avoid exceeding this value to prevent premature failure.

5. Storage:

   • Store the device in a dry, cool environment within the specified storage temperature range.
   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage.

6. Safety:

   • Follow all safety guidelines and regulations when handling high-voltage components.
   • Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during installation and testing.

7. Testing:

   • Perform initial testing at low voltages and currents to ensure proper functionality.
   • Gradually increase the load to the rated values while monitoring performance and temperature.

8. Maintenance:

   • Regularly inspect the device and connections for signs of wear or damage.
   • Replace any damaged components immediately to avoid system failures.
