Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure the device is mounted on a heatsink if continuous operation at high currents is required.
   • Use thermal compound to enhance heat transfer between the device and the heatsink.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the anode and cathode terminals correctly to avoid reverse polarity, which can damage the diode.
   • Use short, low-inductance leads to minimize parasitic inductance and reduce switching losses.

3. Thermal Management:

   • Monitor the junction temperature to ensure it does not exceed 150°C.
   • If operating in high ambient temperatures, consider additional cooling measures such as forced air or liquid cooling.

4. Surge Current Handling:

   • The diode can handle peak forward currents up to 30A, but ensure these surges are brief and do not cause excessive heating.

5. Reverse Recovery:

   • The reverse recovery time is 45ns. Design your circuit to accommodate this characteristic to avoid excessive switching losses and potential damage.

6. Storage:

   • Store the diode in a dry, cool place within the temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

7. Handling:

   • Handle the diode with care to avoid mechanical stress, which can affect its performance.
   • Use appropriate ESD protection when handling the device to prevent damage from static electricity.
