Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting and Handling:

   • Ensure that the device is handled with care to avoid mechanical stress.
   • Use appropriate thermal management techniques to maintain junction temperature within specified limits.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the collector, base, and emitter terminals correctly to avoid damage.
   • Ensure that all connections are secure and free from shorts or open circuits.

3. Thermal Management:

   • Use a heatsink to dissipate heat effectively, especially when operating at high power levels.
   • The thermal resistance between the junction and the case (Rth(j-c)) should be considered in the design to ensure adequate cooling.

4. Operating Conditions:

   • Do not exceed the maximum ratings for voltage, current, and power dissipation.
   • Operate the device within the specified temperature range to prevent thermal runaway and ensure reliable performance.

5. Storage:

   • Store the device in a dry, cool environment to prevent moisture damage and degradation.
   • Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

6. Testing:

   • Perform initial testing under controlled conditions to verify proper operation.
   • Use appropriate test equipment and procedures to avoid damaging the device during testing.
