Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

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

2. Gate Drive:

   • Apply a gate-source voltage (V_GS) of at least 10V to fully turn on the MOSFET.
   • Avoid exceeding the maximum gate-source voltage (±20V) to prevent damage.

3. Current Handling:

   • Do not exceed the continuous drain current (I_D) rating of 16A at 25°C case temperature.
   • For pulse applications, ensure the pulse duration (t_p) does not exceed 10μs and the peak current (I_D(p)) does not exceed 48A.

4. Power Dissipation:

   • Keep the total power dissipation (P_TOT) below 150W to avoid overheating.
   • Monitor the junction temperature (T_J) to ensure it does not exceed 175°C.

5. Storage and Handling:

   • Store the device in a dry environment within the temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.
   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical stress or damage to the leads.

6. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection:

   • Use ESD protective equipment when handling the device to prevent damage from static electricity.

7. Soldering:

   • Use a controlled soldering process to avoid excessive heat that could damage the device.
   • Follow the recommended soldering profile provided by the manufacturer.

By adhering to these parameters and instructions, you can ensure reliable operation and longevity of the IRFU310 MOSFET.
