Instructions:

1. Handling and Storage:

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

2. Mounting:

   • Use the recommended mounting torque (0.7 Nm) to secure the component to the heatsink or PCB.
   • Ensure good thermal contact between the component and the heatsink to maintain optimal operating temperatures.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the anode, cathode, and gate terminals as per the circuit diagram.
   • Ensure that the maximum RMS voltage and current ratings are not exceeded during operation.

4. Thermal Management:

   • Provide adequate cooling to keep the case temperature within the operating range (-40°C to +125°C).
   • Consider using a heatsink or forced air cooling if necessary.

5. Surge Protection:

   • The component can handle non-repetitive peak surge currents up to 240 A for 8.3 ms (sine half-wave). Ensure that any surge conditions do not exceed this limit.

6. Safety Precautions:

   • Follow all relevant safety guidelines when handling high-voltage components.
   • Use appropriate protective equipment and ensure proper grounding to prevent electrical shock.

7. Testing:

   • Before installing the component in a final application, perform functional tests to verify performance and reliability.
