Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking to maintain the junction temperature within the specified range.
   • Use a thermal compound between the transistor and the heat sink to improve thermal conductivity.

2. Biasing:

   • Apply the base current (I_B) carefully to avoid exceeding the maximum collector current (I_C).
   • Ensure that the base-emitter voltage (V_EB) does not exceed the maximum rating.

3. Power Dissipation:

   • Monitor the power dissipation (P_T) to prevent overheating. Use a heatsink if necessary to keep the temperature within safe limits.

4. Storage:

   • Store the transistor in a dry, cool place to prevent damage from moisture and extreme temperatures.

5. Handling:

   • Handle the transistor with care to avoid mechanical damage.
   • Use appropriate ESD protection to prevent damage from static electricity.

6. Testing:

   • Test the transistor under controlled conditions to ensure it meets the specified parameters.
   • Use a suitable test setup to avoid overloading the device during testing.
