Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting and Handling:

   • Ensure that the device is handled with care to avoid mechanical damage.
   • Use appropriate thermal management techniques to ensure the junction temperature does not exceed 150°C.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the collector, base, and emitter terminals correctly to avoid reverse polarity which can lead to device failure.
   • Use suitable wire gauges to handle the maximum current ratings.

3. Power Dissipation:

   • Ensure adequate heat sinking to manage power dissipation and keep the junction temperature within safe limits.
   • Refer to the thermal resistance (R_θJC) for calculating the required heat sink size.

4. Operating Conditions:

   • Do not exceed the maximum ratings for voltage, current, and power dissipation.
   • Operate the device within the specified storage temperature range to avoid damage.

5. Storage and Packaging:

   • Store the device in a dry, cool place to prevent moisture damage.
   • Follow anti-static precautions to protect the device from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

6. Testing:

   • Use appropriate test equipment and methods to verify the performance of the device.
   • Ensure that the test conditions do not exceed the maximum ratings.

7. Safety Precautions:

   • Always follow safety guidelines when handling high-voltage and high-current circuits.
   • Use protective equipment such as gloves and safety glasses when necessary.
