Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking to maintain junction temperature within safe limits.
   • Use recommended mounting torque (typically 2.5 Nm) to avoid damage.

2. Biasing:

   • Apply gate-source voltage (V_GS) within the specified range (-20V to +20V).
   • Ensure gate drive circuitry is designed to provide sufficient current to switch the device quickly.

3. Current Handling:

   • Do not exceed the continuous drain current (I_D) of 24A at 25°C case temperature.
   • For pulse applications, ensure the pulse duration (t_p) does not exceed 10 μs and the peak current (I_D(p)) does not exceed 80A.

4. Thermal Management:

   • Monitor the junction temperature (T_J) to ensure it does not exceed 175°C.
   • Use thermal paste or thermal interface materials between the device and heat sink to improve thermal conductivity.

5. Storage:

   • Store the device in a dry environment within the temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.
   • Avoid exposure to high humidity and corrosive environments.

6. Handling:

   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical stress on the leads and body.
   • Use appropriate ESD protection to prevent damage from static electricity.

7. Testing:

   • Perform initial testing under controlled conditions to verify proper operation.
   • Refer to the datasheet for detailed test procedures and recommended test circuits.
