Instructions for Use:

1. Handling Precautions:

   • ESD Sensitivity: The FGH60N60SFD is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Handle with care and use proper ESD protection.
   • Storage: Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and corrosive substances.

2. Mounting:

   • Heat Sinking: Ensure adequate heat sinking to maintain junction temperature within safe limits. Use thermal paste between the device and the heatsink for better thermal conductivity.
   • Mechanical Stress: Avoid applying excessive mechanical stress to the leads or body of the device during mounting.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Gate Drive: Apply gate drive voltages within the specified range to avoid damage. A typical gate drive voltage is +15V for turn-on and -5V for turn-off.
   • Drain-Source Voltage: Do not exceed the maximum drain-source voltage (600V) to prevent breakdown.
   • Current Limiting: Use current-limiting resistors or other methods to ensure the continuous drain current does not exceed the rated values.

4. Operating Conditions:

   • Temperature: Operate the device within the specified temperature range to ensure reliable performance and longevity.
   • Power Dissipation: Monitor power dissipation to avoid exceeding the maximum ratings. Use appropriate cooling solutions if necessary.

5. Testing:

   • Initial Testing: Perform initial testing at low power levels to verify correct operation before moving to full load conditions.
   • Regular Inspections: Conduct regular inspections to check for signs of wear or damage, especially in high-stress applications.

6. Safety:

   • Isolation: Ensure proper isolation and grounding to prevent electrical hazards.
   • Compliance: Adhere to all relevant safety standards and regulations when designing and using circuits with the FGH60N60SFD.
